View short presentation video of the public consultation feedback on the MSE ICS website at https://virtualviews.midandsouthessex.ics.nhs.uk/changes-to-services. Working Group for Community Beds and Ambulatory Services Reconfiguration In September, the NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (MSEICB) announced a six-month delay in the final decision-making regarding the reconfiguration of community hospital beds, a midwife-led birthing unit and ambulatory care services. The decision follows an extensive public consultation, where valuable feedback was gathered from patients, staff, and the wider community. This additional time is allowing the NHS in mid and south Essex to develop comprehensive solutions that address the needs of local communities to enable staff to deliver the best possible care and make the best use of taxpayers’ money. Full details of the three-month progress report can be found in the ICB board papers section of the MSEICB website, here https://www.midandsouthessex.ics.nhs.uk/publications/?publications_category=icb-board-papers&publications_type=all&date_from=.

You might be worried about a possible cancer diagnosis or symptoms you are experiencing, or somebody close to you has been told they have cancer. To find out more, visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cancer. Suspected cancer Your GP can make an urgent suspected cancer referral if you are experiencing symptoms that could suggest that you may have cancer. It’s normal to worry when you are urgently referred to see a specialist by your GP, nurse or dentist. However, more than nine out of every ten people (more than 90%) referred this way will not be diagnosed with cancer. To find out more about the process of being referred to a hospital specialist, visit https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-symptoms/what-is-an-urgent-referral. Cancer screening We know that if cancer is detected early, it’s much more likely to be treated effectively and treatment can be less intense. The NHS national screening programme invites healthy adults with no symptoms for regular screening tests for three cancer types; breast, bowel and cervical. To find out more, visit https://www.england.nhs.uk/cancer/early-diagnosis/screening-and-earlier-diagnosis.

Last published 02 Oct 2024 10:00 Planning your cancer care After you have had some tests, you may be referred to the cancer multi-disciplinary team (MDT) — a team of healthcare professionals such as: consultant specialist (doctor) radiologist (a doctor who specialises in reading scans and xrays) pathologist (a doctor who specialises in looking at cells under a microscope and diagnosing the cell type) clinical nurse specialist (a nurse who gives you information and support during treatment, also known as CNS or key worker) other doctors and allied healthcare professionals (AHP) involved in your care. The purpose of the MDT The purpose of the MDT is to make sure that you get the most appropriate treatment for your condition. Your case may be discussed at a variety of cancer MDTs specialising in different areas of the body. This is to reach a confirmed diagnosis. All tests and results you have had are taken into consideration so that you can be offered the best treatment plan. This will be discussed with you either at an outpatient's appointment or within the hospital setting if you are an inpatient. A record of your care plan A record of your care plan will be placed in your medical notes and a copy will be sent to your GP for their reference. If you want a copy, please speak with your clinician. Understanding your care plan Once the MDT have agreed your treatment plan you will be invited to an outpatients appointment or will been seen at the bedside (if you are an inpatient) by a consultant or CNS to discuss the outcome. They will explain next steps and options available to you and will ask for your consent to start your care plan — if you have any questions or don't understand, please ask them then to explain and clarify to help you make an informed decision. You will also be given leaflets to read for more information. You may find it helpful to have a family member or friend with you for support. You will not be expected to make a decision at this time.

We work out how many nurses and midwives we need to be able to keep our patients safe by looking at how many patients we are caring for and how unwell they are. Twice a year we review the number of registered and unregistered nurses on all of our wards, as well as comparing our staffing levels with hospitals similar to ours. Every month we review how many nurses and midwives we should have had on our wards compared with the numbers we actually had. These reviews help us write a safe staffing report and recommendations which is shared with our Trust Board. Our Trust is committed to providing a safe environment for patients and staff, making sure that patients receive the right care at the right time by suitably trained staff. having plans in place to ensure that our wards are safely staffed. publishing information about our staffing levels monthly in line with the national guidance (NQB, 2016, NHSI, 2018). This includes reporting on Planned versus Actual staffing hours divided into staffing groups (Registered Nurses and Unregistered staff) and also on Care Hours per Patient Day. undertaking bi-annual establishment reviews using nationally-recognised, evidence-based tools to ensure that nurse staffing is appropriate for each ward. displaying both the planned and actual staffing levels on each ward/department.
