Outcomes/benefits of the QIS
• Earlier diagnosis of cancers • Annual increase in cancers diagnosed at stages 1&2
• Increased proportion diagnosed through the appropriate
pathway - 2WW
• Improved screening uptake - Breast, Bowel and Cervical • Identify groups of patients who do not take part in breast,
cervical or bowel screening • Support primary care to proactively encourage patients to
take up the national cancer screening programmes
The QIS conception
Developed a QIS Working Group
• Provide TVCA-oversight of activities for screening uptake for breast, bowel and cervical cancer
• Includes:
• CCG Cancer Leads • TV Screening and Immunisation team • PHE • Macmillan and CRUK partners • Local authority partners
• Promote collaborative working to share best practice and learning from
current improvement activities
• Support development of the QIS toolkit
The NHS ….reinvent the wheel???? … never!
