Dear Colleague,

QuEST Cancer Modernisation Programme – Vacancy for Programme Support Officer

The QuEST Cancer Modernisation Programme was developed in 2010 following a stocktake of progress against the recommendations and actions set out in Better Cancer Care. There are a number of workstreams within the programme – Detect Cancer Early, Acute Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Radiotherapy Capacity provision and Transforming Care after Treatment. These workstreams form elements of the Scottish Cancer Taskforce workplan which is planned to run until 2014. Good progress is being made against the aims and objectives of each of the work streams.

Due to promotion to a substantive post, there is a vacancy for the role of Programme Support Officer, QuEST Cancer Modernisation, based within the Directorate for Health Workforce and Performance (Quality and Efficiency Support Team). We are seeking to fill this vacancy on a secondment basis for an initial period of eighteen months.

This post is a support role to the senior programme managers and would ideally suit a candidate who wishes to gain experience of working at a national level in Scottish Government policy and delivery work. It is anticipated that the post will attract an AFC band 6 equivelent and I attach the current job description for information.

JOB DESCRIPTION

1. JOB DETAILS

Job Title: Programme Support Officer – QuEST Cancer Modernisation Immediate Senior Officer/Line Detect Cancer Early Programme Director Manager: QuEST

Programme: QuEST Cancer Modernisation Programme

Location: TBC Job Reference: Date:

2. JOB PURPOSE A senior management support role to provide delivery and support for components of the Scottish Cancer Taskforce work plan.

The Scottish Cancer Taskforce work plan identifies the need for modernising cancer services to cope with increasing incidence of cancer in Scotland, mainly through an ageing population.

The QuEST Cancer Modernisation Programme was developed in 2010 following a review of progress against the recommendations and actions in Better Cancer Care. There are a number of workstreams within the programme – Detect Cancer Early, Acute Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Radiotherapy Capacity provision and Transforming Care after Treatment. These workstreams form elements of the Scottish Cancer Taskforce work plan which is planned to run until 2014.

The Programme Support Officer is responsible for effective management, planning and delivery of a number of project outputs from this work plan, in particular projects relating to radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

In undertaking the role, the postholder will work in a corporate manner in a politically sensitive and sometimes highly contentious environment to ensure the programme responds quickly to relevant changes in health policy and ministerial priorities, together with emergent needs within the service.

The postholder will work with the current regional and local structures that are in place within NHSScotland to deliver effective cancer services.

3. PROGRAMME DIMENSIONS In 2010, 29,449 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in Scotland, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers. For males, the most common cancers are prostate, lung and colorectal

St Andrew’s House, Regent Road, Edinburgh EH1 abcde abc a 3DGwww.scotland.gov.uk 17 cancers, accounting for around 52% of cancers in men. For females, the most common cancers are breast, lung and colorectal cancers, accounting for 56% of cancers in women.

Lung cancer is still the most common cancer overall (around 16% of all cancers), with around 4,800 cases diagnosed in 2008, compared to around 4,500 cases of breast cancer (almost 15%) and just under 4,000 cases of colorectal cancer (14%). Over the past decade, there have been considerable increases in melanoma, lung cancer in women and kidney cancer.

Some indicators suggest that survival for some cancers is lower in Scotland and the rest of the UK when compared with other Nordic Countries (except Denmark). Recent research has highlighted that there is poorer survival in the UK in the first month and first year after diagnosis. However, after the first year, survival in the UK is more similar to other countries. Possible reasons for this include data quality issues, tumour related reasons, different genetic and underlying health characteristics of the people getting cancer in different countries, and healthcare related factors.

Prevalence is increasing for many cancers due to a combination of improvements in treatment, better uptake of screening and increasing incidence. The prevalence increases with age with 10.4% of men and 9.3% of women aged 65 and over living with a diagnosis of cancer in Scotland.

Future projections indicate that the number of new cancer cases is expected to increase by approximately 8% every 5 years up to 2020. This is largely due to the ageing population, and does not take account of any future behavioural or lifestyle changes. Adapting the current model of care to meet the expected increase in demand is now required in the form of nationwide programme of work.

The Scottish Cancer Task Force work plan engages all Scottish Health Boards and their partner organisations. The postholder will build effective alliances across the NHS and partner organisations i.e. NES, NHS HIS, third sector to ensure programme priorities are understood and reflect the needs of the NHS, in order to have significant impact on patient experience, staff development, performance and effectiveness.
