  • Mount Vernon Cancer Centre Strategic Review Patient and Public Engagement Report - Foreword
    Mount Vernon Cancer Centre Strategic Review Patient and Public Engagement Report - Foreword NHS England, working together with hospital trusts and local commissioners, has been leading a review of the services provided at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre. We began the review to find a solution to the quality of the buildings as well as clinical challenges such as the limited hospital support there is for patients who are very unwell or have additional health needs. The review has focused on the model of care provided at the centre. This includes the range of services provided, clinical leadership and operational management, and where and how patients can access them. The review is at an early stage and options for the future services will be developed from February 2020. Above all, we want to build on the commitment and expertise of the staff team at Mount Vernon, which we know are well regarded, and to ensure that patients continue to receive high-quality care. We know that there are pressures around the current buildings and premises, and that services must be developed in line with new treatments and approaches to delivering care for people living with cancer. Central to all of this is hearing from patients and their carers – what creates an excellent patient experience, what aspects of the service are most valued by those who use them, and what they would like to see in cancer care developed. To inform this thinking, a series of events and focus group meetings were held between July and September 2019. A survey was also carried out.
