3 1.0 Introduction The development of tumour site specific Allied Health Professional (AHP) Cancer Rehabilitation care pathways is a requirement for Peer Review as part of the implementation of the Rehabilitation measures (2008). The aim of these pathways is to guide best practice and ensure appropriate service provision. Each care pathway should: cover all stages of the patient s journey from diagnosis through active treatment to survivorship and on to palliative/end of life care. specify particular clinical indications for referral to each relevant rehabilitation service - describe the relevant intervention / procedure /therapy required from any or all of the four relevant AHP professional groups, i.e. Dietetics Occupational link to the National AHP care pathways - the nine site specific pathways are: - Breast - Head & Neck - Upper GI - oesophago-gastric - Upper GI - hepatobiliary pancreas - Colorectal - Urology - Lung - Brain CNS Each of these has a drop down menu of appropriate common symptom pathways: - breathlessness - Pain - Lymphoedema - Spinal Cord Compression - Continence - Fatique and energy management - Anorexia/cachexia/weight loss - Dysphagia - Communication difficulies NB: for further information visit the National Cancer Action Team website or follow this link MCCN Rehabilitation Pathways Page 3 of 29

4 When a rehabilitation need is identified - consider the level of intervention required: Is the symptom of little concern or already self adapted? YES NO Encourage self management & offer supportive written information Is the symptom impacting on function or quality of life? NO YES Is the symptom likely to impact treatment options or become more debilitating over time? YES NO Refer to Specialist Cancer AHP services who can offer expert advice, an integrated care plan and ongoing support for future potential problems Refer to symptom care pathway & consider referral to generic AHP services for assessment and advice To make a referral to an AHP: Please see your Local Cancer Rehabilitation Directory (see Section 2.0) MCCN Rehabilitation Pathways Page 4 of 29
