‘Delivering Non Surgical Cancer Services for SE Wales’
Strategic Outline Programme(SOP)
INFORMED STAKEHOLDER EVENTSJUNE 2007
The Need for Change
Dr Malcolm Adams
Clinical Aims
To deliver timely radiotherapy and chemotherapy according to standards and ensure optimum population access over the next ten years.
Why is there a need for Radiotherapy?
Essential
component of
curative and
palliative cancer
treatment
Proportion of
cancer patients
requiring
radiotherapy
increasing
Linacs deliver 80% of curative radiotherapy
Principles of Radiotherapy (1)
Cancer control related to radiation dose
Radiation toxicity is related to
dose/volume of normal tissue irradiated
Fractionated radiation reduces radiation
toxicity
Aim : maximise dose to target volume and
minimise to normal tissues
Principles of Radiotherapy (2)
Scan : define tumour
target volume and critical
normal structures.
Plan : maximise dose to
target volume and minimise
to normal tissues.
Prescribe : fractionated
radiation dose.
Target Volume
Critical normal structure
Why increasing demand for radiotherapy?
Rising cancer incidence
in ageing population
Rising referrals
New indications
Improved more
complex treatment
Changing case mix
Site predicted% increase 2005-2015
Prostate 41*
Breast 25.3*
Colo/rectal 28.2*
Lung -14.1
Total 28.5
Why are short Radiotherapy waiting times important?
Increased waiting times reduce survival
Delay of 30-60 days reduces cure rate for
a range of cancers:
head and neck
cervical
breast
prostate
Cancer Standards
Cancer Centre must comply with cancer standards:
62 day wait from referral to treatment
31 day wait from diagnosis to treatment Radiotherapy is first definitive treatment in
15% of cancer patients

Review of Cancer Services for the People of Wales (Health and Social Services Committee) - February 2007
Recommendation 1
.......securing the funding of
new and replacement
radiotherapy equipment...
Actions required to meet future radiotherapy needs
Maximise efficiency of existing machines – undertaking capacity and demand audits, implementing extended working day
Optimise configuration of future machines to :- (1) ensure quality planning and
safe efficient delivery
(2) maximise patient access
Why increasing demand for chemotherapy ?
Rising cancer
incidence in an aging
population
Rising referrals
Increasing survival of
cancer patients
New indications
New targeted treatments

What are the components of a good chemotherapy service?
Access to specialist decision in multi disciplinary team
Timely delivery of chemotherapy as near to home as possible
Optimum management of toxicity
What are the effects of capacity contraints?
Treatment delays
Worse outcome
Threat to clinical trials
Second class service
Thank you
PLANNING PROCESS
Mrs Georgina Galletly
Planning Process
Requirement for ‘SOP’ – Strategic Outline Programme
NHS Wales Regional Plans – April 2006
Background
Velindre Trust has been planning for increased radiotherapy capacity for many years
Delayed progress due to All Wales/Regional focus & uncertainty
Task & Finish Group developed a DRAFT SOP for submission to WAG on 2nd November 2006 identifying 5 high level options for models of service delivery.
Identification of possible options
Establishment of regional ‘working group’;
Development & agreement of investment objectives & success criteria;
Generation of model to identify possible service models;
Generation of Possible Service Models

Current Situation Formal, comprehensive & inclusive programme
management structure established
2 Stages to process;
Stage 1 – Informed Stakeholder events leading to identification of preferred way forward.
Stage 2 – Wider public engagement with potential public consultation depending on option chosen as preferred way forward.
STAGE 1 – 4th – 8th June 2007
‘Informed’ Stakeholder Engagement
Regional Focus Consider 5 options Weight Critical Success Factors Score each option against Critical Success
Factors Identify ‘Preferred Way Forward’ i.e.
Preferred Option
Then; Develop detailed plan for submission to
commissioners Submit to WAG to secure high level
capital funding
STAGE 2
Wider public engagement on preferred way forward
Process determined by model of service delivery identified & CHC involvement
Public Consultation on choice of location etc to inform further plans
Involvement of media
N.B. all options acknowledge the need to strengthen & localise chemotherapy across the South East Wales Region as far as possible
OPTIONS

Do Minimum
‘Strengthen existing chemotherapy services on the
Velindre Hospital site and incrementally increase Linacs
on site to maximum capacity of 7 linacs (8 bunkers) within the
confines of existing boundaries’
Option B
‘Strengthen existing chemotherapy services and re-
develop existing Velindre Cancer Centre by acquiring additional adjacent land to
accommodate 8/9 linacs on the VCC site’
Option C
‘Strengthen existing chemotherapy services and
build a new cancer centre for South East Wales’’
Option D
‘Strengthen chemotherapy services and radiotherapy would be provided from a
cancer centre (Velindre) and a satellite radiotherapy unit’
(VCC with 7 Linacs + Satellite housing 2 linear accelerators.)
Option E
‘Strengthen chemotherapy services and radiotherapy would be provided from a cancer centre (Velindre) and a
satellite radiotherapy unit’
(VCC with 7 linear accelerators + Satellite housing 2 linear
accelerators.)

What is a Satellite Radiotherapy Unit?
A unit, geographically distanced from the Cancer Centre, that provides radiotherapy; for example a District General Hospital
site Building constraints and concerns over
patients’ travelling times have led to satellite units being established
Patients treated at a satellite unit would have the same level of care and support as if treated at the Centre
7 2
What is a Satellite Radiotherapy Unit?
Must have a minimum of 2 linacs and associated planning machines
Technical and professional standards of treatment would not differ from that provided by the Cancer Centre
Some patients would still have to travel to the Centre for specialised radiotherapy preparation, planning or delivery
7 2
Clinical Impact – Advantages
Improvement in local access to chemotherapy services
Improvement in local access to radiotherapy services for a proportion of the population of SE Wales
7 2
Clinical Impact – Advantages
Improved patient flow through planning of new hospital layout
Improve day case and inpatient facilities
