Mission Statement“To improve pathology services by creating and developing a Scotland-wide Managed Diagnostic Network, which will steer modernisation, including service change and redesign, improve quality, ensure provision of an effective pathology service which anticipates and responds to user needs, future requirements, and national guidelines and meets UKAS/ISO Standards.”

SPAN

SPAN Constituency (2)• Who are our users?

– Cellular Pathology Departments• Other Organisations: SGHSCD, CMO Office, ISD, Screening,

Regional Planning, Professional Bodies, other Networks, SPAN Subgroups, SPAN spin out entities (Mol. Path. Consortium & Cervical Cytology Consortia), etc.

– Users of Cellular Pathology Departments• Clinicians (predominantly surgeons and oncologists)• Other cellular pathology departments, other laboratories

– Users of Clinical Services• Patients• Other clinicians

Page 8: BREAST CANCER CASE STUDY

SPAN

Achievements (1)• ‘All change’ – a new model:

– Funding changes 2013/14– New Lead Clinician December 2013, 3 year tenure– New NNMS/NSD support model rolled out April

2014– Marked loss of specialist experience and time

resource substituted with general/generic support• Appointment of a Scientific Manager

– August 2014, 3 year tenure

Page 9: BREAST CANCER CASE STUDY

SPAN

Achievements (2)• Ensuring continuity of Cervical Cytology Consortia

funding in time of crisis/collapse:– Funding was ending 31st December 2014

• Despite lobbying from 2013 onwards no clear commitment to renew

• Outside NSD/NNMS remit

– Expectation that activity would fall back to SPAN• Critical priority for community as workforce collapsing and NHS

Boards become unsustainable (Highland) • AW takes on role of Scientific Manager to ensure some form of

continuity

– Funding renewed few days before year end• Consortia Lead Clinician (1PA) & Consortia Manager (2 sessions)

Page 10: BREAST CANCER CASE STUDY

SPAN

Achievements (3)• Moving Cervical Screening Programme to a

sustainable primary screening methodology (1):– Cervical Cytology being replaced around the world by

High Risk HPV testing as primary screening modality with Cytology being the subsequent diagnostic triage modality

– Clear view that no future in Cervical Cytology on current scale

• NHS Boards ceased investing in new training• Ageing workforce• Disinterest/disengagement of trainee and senior staff• Down-sizing of departments and cost-savings pressure

facilitated by prior Imager/MSC initiatives

Page 11: BREAST CANCER CASE STUDY

SPAN

Achievements (4)• Moving Cervical Screening Programme to a

sustainable primary screening methodology (2):– Consortia model critical in providing cross boundary

support (hence need for renewal)– Scientific rationale for Primary HR-HPV testing

accepted by Scot Gov (prior activity)– Succeed in getting initial scoping and final business

case launched• Multiple subgroups• Significant/total use of Scientific Manager resource in

support at present• BUSINESS CASE NOT ACCEPTED OR APPROVED AS YET

Page 12: BREAST CANCER CASE STUDY

SPAN

Achievements (5)• Maintaining pre-existing commitments in the

new model– Molecular Pathology Consortium Roles– Point of advice for those outside Cellular Pathology.

Examples:• Better Cancer Care, HCS NDP, HSST, Rare Diseases, HPS

(Ebola), UKAS views, PQAR (Barnes - England), FetalRemains, 7 Day services, etc.

– Support for the community incl. subgroups– Standard meetings plus extra NNMS/NSD interface

meetings and related comms

Page 13: BREAST CANCER CASE STUDY

SPAN

Achievements (6)• Paediatric and Perinatal Pathology Services in Scotland:

A Review of Current Services and Future Network Planning – Horizon scanning by Steering Group => sustainability gap– SLWG with specialist lead, year long in depth review of

workload, staffing and resource locations– Published May 2015– Specific recommendations for sustainability of perinatal

autopsy provision in Scotland– Paediatric pathology recommendations not provided:

• Service contingent on supervening Managed Service Network for Children and Young People with Cancer (MSNCYPC) Second Review of the Pathways of Care for Children, Teenagers and Young Adults with Cancer in Scotland

SPAN

Achievements (7)• Expert Opinion Impact Survey

– SPAN requested to carry out survey by constituent NHS Boards

– Concern over resource use by non-NHS Scotland labs– Demonstrated more resource used by non-NHS

Scotland labs than provided to NHS Scotland labs– Non-NHS Scotland labs started charging for services

despite NHS Scotland provision being free– Cost pressures significant in Lothian and Tayside– DSG agreed to allow cross charging at NHS Board

discretion

Page 16: BREAST CANCER CASE STUDY

SPAN

Achievements (8)• Revision of SPAN annual data collection (1):

– Phase I - Improve and standardise definition interpretation. Allow whole systems performance measures (NHS Scotland wide). Direct peer review and discussion at Annual Quality & Performance event – Achieved 2014.

– Phase II – With Phase I success, lead a SLWG on refining collection with a view to introduce notional comparative productivity and financial measures. Aim to equal or surpass Keele but provide service relevance (also cost saving). Piloted April 2015, successful. Rolled out for 2014/15 general collection, successful.

Page 17: BREAST CANCER CASE STUDY

SPAN

Achievements (9)• Revision of SPAN annual data collection (2):

– Phase III – Successful Phase I and II. Successful 2nd

Annual Quality & Performance Event. Aim to further refine, automate and transfer responsibility and delivery from Lead Clinician and Scientific Manager to a more sustainable Information Management Service provided model. Aiming to pilot for 2016 (2015/16 data collection round). Formally replace Keele.

Page 18: BREAST CANCER CASE STUDY

SPAN

Achievements (10)• Creation and acceptance of an Annual Quality

& Performance Event for the network:– Review and discussion of network data– Whole cellular pathology service contribution and

involvement– Discussion of wider quality, performance and

accreditation issues– Formal environment for discussion of variation

and improvement

Shared Services“In Autumn 2014 a ‘Guiding Coalition’ comprising NHS Board Chairs and Chief Executives came together to consider the key strategic challenges facing health services in Scotland, i.e. to ensure the desired outcomes stated within the NHS Scotland 2020 Vision whilst addressing the pressing current and emerging demands upon the system including the growing financial challenge. A number of work-streams were identified as being essential to delivering quality clinical services that are both safe and financially sustainable; one of these is ‘Shared Services’.”
