Notice Description

NHS Procurement Wales, on behalf of the NHS Executive, Wales Cancer Network, wishes to invite proposals for the evaluation of the all-Wales Suspected Cancer Programme (SCP) programme. The 3-year Suspected Cancer Pathway (SCP) Programme was introduced in April 2021, as a national programme to support NHS organisations to transform their cancer patient pathways through a whole system approach.

The SCP programme aims to deliver the vision of the NOPs aligned to the metric of the SCP to achieve better outcomes and experience for cancer patients across Wales. We require a robust and independent assessment of the impact of the SCP programme. The following key programme deliverables were identified: * To review, develop and publish the National Optimal Pathways. * In partnership with cancer Multidisciplinary Teams support the implement of the National Optimal Pathways through a whole-system approach. * Support health boards to improve SCP performance (Point of Suspicion to First Definitive Treatment). * Deliver the programme through a Value Based Health Care approach, to achieve better outcomes and experiences for cancer patients. * Work collaboratively with health boards and stakeholders to share learning from the programme activities. Programme aim and objectives Aim: * To enable effective implementation of the SCP across Wales, through a whole system approach informed by business intelligence data. Objectives: * To support health boards/trust in Wales to implement the SCP performance target (Point of Suspicion to First Definitive Treatment within 62 days) aligned to the best practice principles described by the National Optimal Pathways. * To work in partnership with cancer MDTs to embed the vision of the National Optimal Pathways.
