Organisational Area Disability Services, HSE West and North West Informal Enquiries Aoife O’Donohue, General Manager, Disability Services, HSE West and North West Email: Aoife.odonohue1@hse.ie Tele: 087 1198334 Details of Service Disability services support people with disabilities to live the life of their choosing in their own homes, in accommodation that is designed and/or adapted as necessary to meet their needs, enabling them to live ordinary lives in ordinary places as independently as possible. Services Provided Disability services are provided to those with physical, sensory, intellectual disability and autism in day, respite and residential settings. Services include personal assistant, home support, multi- disciplinary and other community supports. Services are delivered through a mix of HSE direct provision as well as through non-statutory Section 38 and 39 service providers and private providers. Delivery of the planned level of services is dependent on the requirement for all services to manage and prioritise costs within available budgets. They also provide for some service increase relating to demographic growth, however, the rate of growth may continue to impact on our ability to meet required access performance targets. In the case of some services, given that the HSE is the statutory provider of last resort and the realities around the relatively fixed nature of certain costs, there is a requirement to respond to need even if this exceeds what can be supported by the available funding level. Within disability services, this primarily relates to residential places and emergency cases. Information about the Disability Services Social Care Division: The establishment of a Disability Services Social Care Division to support the ongoing service requirements of people with disabilities is an important step in moving forward with the design and implementation of models of care which will support and maintain service users to live at home and/or in their own community.

A key function of the Disability Services Social Dare Division is to : · Organise and deliver the required services safely and to a set of standards · Reconfigure the available resource through a comprehensive reform process, increasing productivity and changing traditional cost structures in the process.

In addition, the Disability Services Social Care Division will progress the implementation of key programmes including: · The programme for Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People. · The Review of Autism Services. · Reconfiguring adult day services as outlined in New Directions – Report on the National Working Group for the Review of HSE funded Adult Day Services. · Reconfiguring residential services as recommended in Time to Move from Congregated Settings and the National Neuro-Rehabilitation Strategy.

Clinical Nurse Specialist In Oral Anti-cancer Medication Clinic
The MMUH is the National Referral Centre for patients with Cancer. This service provides specialist care to patients with a cancer diagnosis who are prescribed OAMS. It is estimated that the number of patients receiving oral SACT for the treatment of their cancer will increase by 42-48% between 2015 and 2025 (NCCP). The population of adults with Cancer who are prescribed OAMS continues to grow rapidly with 200 new referrals to the MMUH OAMS Clinic service annually (2021). The Oral Anti-Cancer Medication Clinic service at the MMUH was set up in response to the large volume of patients to provide specialist care to the OAMS population lost to follow up. The CNSp in the OAMS clinic reviews approx. 35 patients on OAMs per a week. Appropriate patients are referred by Clinical Nurse Specialists to the OAMS clinic. Patients are reviewed in OAMS clinic, in line with local KPI, and their medications are reviewed. A SACT nursing assessment, weight, vital signs, medication history and completed in OAMS clinic. The CNSp in OAMS clinic liaises with community pharmacy. Appropriate referrals are sent to dietetics, social work, palliative care, psycho-oncology etc after a discussion with the patients. OAMS patient information leaflet and triage details are given to the patient. Patient is followed up in OAMS clinic based on drug monitoring protocol. Phone line is available for patients to contact OAMS CNSp. OAMs CNSp attends consultant rounds weekly to discuss patients care and drug toxicities. Research indicates that close monitoring (or follow-up) of individuals receiving OAMs is crucial to achieve intended therapeutic outcomes. Such patient monitoring is required to maximise patient safety and adherence and to reduce toxicity, adverse events and health care costs (Battis et al., 2017). Patient monitoring requires co-ordination of care, is time intensive and consequently expensive. Patient satisfaction levels are high with specialist or advanced practice in nursing clinics (Liljeroos and Stromberg, ¨ 2019; Linedale et al., 2020) and with specific reference to OAM care, Bordonaro and colleagues provide a strong conclusion that, “nursing … is a fundamental aspect of a high quality home based chemotherapy (service)” (Bordonaro et al., 2012). A study using data obtained from the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey (NCPES) has shown that cancer patients who have good access to care from a designated clinical nurse specialist (CNS) could improve their chances of survival. The study, published in the British Medical Journal of Supportive & Palliative Care, identified 99,371 patients with colorectal, lung, breast and prostate cancer who reported their care experience of having a CNS from the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey (2010–2014) and a linked dataset from the English cancer registration. The prognosis for patients prescribed OAMS is better when cared for within a specialist Oral Clinic service rather than a general day unit. As an influential member of the MDT, the CNSp in OAMS clinic is fundamental to the delivery of this service. For Enquiries - Please Contact - traceyfitzpatrick@mater.ie sflynn@mater.ie
