To address growing demand for lung cancer services, Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust turned to Siemens Healthineers Consulting for support in designing a one-stop Diagnostic and Treatment Centre for Lung Cancer, serving the whole of Greater Manchester.
The Diagnostic and Treatment Centre for Lung Cancer at Wythenshawe Hospital (part of MFT) will serve tertiary referrals from the screening programme and provide patients with all required treatments and diagnostic options under one roof. The goals of the centrel include:
- Provide patient-centric and equitable care
- Improve patient waiting times
- Futureproof operations
- Expand research capabilities
- Achieve cost-efficiency
To achieve this vision, Siemens Healthineers Consulting worked in tandem with all key stakeholders throughout the project - from workshops with staff and patients, through to simulation modelling - with the breadth of insights gathered helping to forge a holistic redesign of care pathways and facilities.
Once the centre is live, the consulting team’s design of the facilities and pathways indicate potential outcomes* including up to 296 more lives saved p/a and over £4m in financial benefits.
