Head & Neck Cancer and
Rehabilitation

Evidence based Rehabilitation Care Pathway – local
version agreed by NSSG 2010

QoL, ADL, physical, social, psychological and
functional support (multi-professional clinics)

Optimise treatment (nutritional status pre and post
surgery, swallowing)

Cost-effectiveness/benefits realisation

QIPP
Issues and Initiatives in
Rehabilitation




Cancer rehabilitation nationally is comparatively underdeveloped and under-utilised.
Publication of National Cancer Rehabilitation pathways and
evidence guide.
Development of tumour specific local rehabilitation pathways
Need for pathways to be integrated into main care/referral
pathways and practice

WTE Specialist Posts in Head and Neck Cancer
(all identified professions) per 100,000
population of locality.
Findings

Relatively low numbers of AHP’s for
population against national average

Variablity in specialist service provision
between localities
– Consider referral pathways
– ? Significant unmet need
– Community support provided out of acute
centres over a very large geographical area
– ? Rehab needs provided by generalist workforce
– ?potential significant risk for people with head
and neck cancer
NICE 2004



Establishment of Local Support Team (LST) by
every Cancer Unit or Cancer Centre which may also
work on an out-reach basis and contribute to
continuous assessment in an out-patient setting
LST to have access to the expertise required to
manage the after-care and rehabilitation needs of
all of its patients, working closely with Cancer
Centre staff and primary health care teams to
provide seamless care.
The local support team should aim to ensure that
the long-term needs of patients and carers are met.
NICE 2004

SLT and dietician must form part of core
membership of multi-disciplinary team

SLT must be a specialist in head and neck cancer

Dietician must have specific expertise in managing
head and neck cancer patients.

Physiotherapy and OT practitioners should form
part of the extended MDT and must have an
interest in head and neck cancers and experience
of dealing with these patients.
NICE 2004



The SLT in the MDT may delegate rehabilitation
work to an SLT working in the community, but
remain available to provide expert advice and
assistance to the community SLT.
Where the (LST) dietician does not have specialised
knowledge of head and neck cancer, there should
be close liaison between the dietician in the
community and their counterpart in the MDT
Ongoing physiotherapy and input from OT will often
be required by patients who have undergone radical
treatment to the neck.
NICE 2004


The IOG estimates that each Network
of approximately 1.5 million population
will require an additional 5.3 WTE SLT
and an additional 4.7 WTE dieticians
Anglia Cancer Network population of
2.671 million: this = an additional 9.4
WTE SLT and an additional 8.4 WTE
dieticians.
IOG recommended additional WTE Specialist
Posts for SLT and Dietetics in Head and Neck
Cancer by Locality, less current specialist
provision.

Head and Neck Care Pathway – specific

Key Messages

Head and neck cancer rehabilitation is highly
specialised
– Needs clinical experience (case-load maintenance) +
formalised learning





Majority of rehabilitation and support for people
with head and neck cancer extends well beyond the
acute phase
Need to consider the whole pathway when planning
service
