The centralisation of care for oesophageal cancer patients improves outcomes but can make it harder for patients and healthcare staff. In fact, patients often suffer from a terrible patient experience (Cancer Patient Experience survey: CPES data) and from confusion over who is in charge of their care.
For Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) the monitoring of patients across different hospital sites is difficult: this leads to increased inefficiencies of care, administrative burdens and differences in treatment pathways.
