King’s Health Partners Cancer Centre at Guy’s Transforming the Experience of Cancer Patients What the Cancer Centre is all about Patient comment: “It was all fine as an inpatient, but now as an outpatient, it’s all different appointments on different days with different members of the team. Ideally it would all be co-ordinated – e.g. Guys, dressings, speech therapists, CNS – all in one package. And I have Radiotherapy coming up and I’d like that coordinated with other things too.” 1 Key Clinical Objectives To effect greater integration of the major practitioners of cancer care – Surgeons, Medical Oncologists and Clinical Oncologists and facilitation of clinical research both across disciplines and patient groupings To improve supportive care, patient information and complementary therapies provided at each stage of the patients’ pathway to improve quality of life both during treatment and into survivorship To provide an outstanding working environment and patient experience that will ‘lift the spirits’ for those that use the building The Ethos of the Building • No unnecessary waits • Patients in control • Technology as an enabler • Flexibility of design • Flexibility of processes • 12 hour working concept • 6-7 days a week • ‘Art of Care’ married with ‘Science of Treatment’ - Cancer Medicine Art of Care – Science of Treatment Cancer Centre consists of a number stacked ‘villages 3 villages: •Radiotherapy •One Stop (Outpatients, Imaging and Minor Procedures) •Chemotherapy Complemented by: •Welcome Village •Private Patients Unit •KCL Research Creates: •Human scale •Clear orientation Welcome Village – Ground Floor Dimbleby CC Phlebotomy Contemplation room Cafe Wigs Prosthetics etc. Main entrance Retail space Welcome Village – First floor Staff Change Staff Rest Therapies & Gym Radiotherapy Village – 2nd floor – Treatment floor Linear Accelerators Patient Change zone On treat review Radiotherapy Village – 3rd floor – Radiotherapy Planning Dosimetry lab & store Work areas & breakout Planning workstations Work areas & breakout Sanctioning Radiotherapy Village – 4th floor – Pre-Treatment floor PET-CT CT scanners Mould clinic & workshop Bookings and Pre-treatment prep Pre-treatment consult 1 stop Village – 5th floor – Outpatients and Imaging MRI CT C/E suite C/E suite • 7 C/E rooms • Interview room • Treatment room • MDT hub • Pt weigh • 7 C/E rooms • Interview room • Treatment room • MDT hub • Pt weigh 1 stop Village – 6th floor Outpatients Breast Imaging & Minor Procedures Minor Procedures Digital X-ray Mammography & USS Line Insertion C/E suite Recovery area • 7 C/E rooms • Interview room • Treatment room • MDT hub • Pt weigh Chemotherapy Village – 7th floor Acute Oncology Assessment Pharmacy MDM meeting Rm Treatment cluster Treatment cluster • 10 chairs • Nurse base • 1 treatment room • 2 C/E rooms • 10 chairs • Nurse base • 1 treatment room • 2 C/E rooms Chemotherapy Village – 8th floor Office & Meeting room area for building MDM meeting Rm Treatment cluster Treatment cluster • 4 chairs • 6 single rooms • Nurse base • 1 intrathecal room • 10 chairs • Nurse base • 1 treatment room • 1 Consult room KCL Research – 9th floor (part of Chemotherapy village) Laboratory area Tissue bank Write up area Experimental Oncology Institute offices Open plan offices Seminar rooms Next Steps Construction programme: – commence demolition – March 2013 – start construction – August 2013 – commence equipment procurement – March 2014 – deliver and install equipment – December 2015 – practical completion – March 2016 – commissioning – April 2016 – June 2016 – building fully operational – Summer 2016 off Continue with operational plans to change processes in advance o Cancer Centre opening Spread message re the importance of this project for KHP and SEL patients
