How can we support
our survivors in the
adult arena?
What are the issues?

Characteristics may include:
No routine outpatient attendances
Information “prescription” and/or an
educational intervention
Automated surveillance tests with
results by post or phone
Ability to re access system
with/without reference to GP
Characteristics may include:
Planned review of care e.g. hospital,
community, face to face or phone
Clinical examination if required
Patients with significant co-morbidities
Those who are unable/decline to self
manage
Characteristics may include: 20%
Complex rapidly changing health
Complex treatment complications or
symptomatic needs
Complex ongoing treatment regimes
Other input required e.g. Cardiology,
Haematology,
Gastroenterology
Requiring regular MDT reviews

Transition
Definition
A multi faceted ,active process that changes care from
paternalistic driven care (HCP/parents) to supported self
management within adult services in parallel with the
changing physical and emotional development that goes
with the progress through childhood to adulthood.
Effective transition will facilitate safe self management
and
inform the more dependant survivors

Survivors voice
Transition
You need to
know how
the stuff in
your past is
going to
affect you
National Cancer Survivorship Initiative
When you’re
applying for a
job, you
obviously have
to say
something, but
That strikes me more it’s how much
and more how really
important [it] is that
everybody gets that
transition and then
knows what to ask in
it as well as what to
get. Otherwise
you’re left not sure.
Survivors perspective
Supported Self Management
I understand the
side effects my
treatment may
cause in the
future
Supported selfmanagement provides a
positive approach to
long-term aftercare
You can’t self
manage if you don’t
understand
National Cancer Survivorship Initiative
Next steps
Define models of transition, who/when/where/how often
Test outcomes – DNA rates
Reduction in acute admissions
Appropriate self referral/monitoring
Survivors experience
Economic evaluation
National Cancer Survivorship Initiative
Complex cases Where do these adults go?
Who coordinates care?
Do they require expert advice?
ALL –Treatment included an allogenic BMT
• Endocrinopathy-,adult GHD, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome
and gonadal failure
• Cardiotoxicity
• CGVHD-Obliterative Bronchiolitis
• Bone- Avascular necrosis and Osteoporosis
• Nephrotoxicity and hypertension
• Cataracts
• Psychosocial
• Potential for SMN
National Cancer Survivorship Initiative
Expertise, effective triage and coordinated care
Questions?
• How many centres of
excellence required?
• Who mans them?
• Would virtual MDTs
assist management
• Who hosts them?
• Can this model work
across all ages?

Can similar MOC within adult services serve
both childhood and adult cancer survivors?

The future
• Working together.....
• Need to create a seamless flexible pathway
• Taking into account different needs and
prevalence of consequences of cancer
treatment.
• Common morbidities looked after by primary
care
• More complex expert MDT
• Continue with commitment and effective
leadership.
