The national new care models programme was seen by some as a "game-changer" when it was launched by NHS England in 2015 – setting the template for patient care in the 21st century.
Its vision was to deliver lasting change in the way that people access and use local health and care services in line with the ambitions set out in the Five Year Forward View. Niall Dickson, of the NHS Confederation, describes this challenge as "enormous". He adds that the health and care system needed to recognise “that unless we manage demand by providing the right support at the right time, the system cannot be sustained, even with more staff and more funding.” Chris Hopson, of NHS Providers, added that the programme itself needed to recognise “that large-scale transformation in health care requires funding, implementation support, time, and the permission to make mistakes and learn from them".

There is widespread recognition that older patients may have more complex needs and other health problems and social factors may impact on their access and response to treatment.
She is working to identify older patients who would benefit from having a geriatric/medical review alongside their oncology treatment and determining the impact of this review on their treatment. As part of this, she is keen to engage with patients to find out what matters to them. De Mellor is aiming to look at people over the age of 70 years but could stretch down to 65. If they are willing to meet, she would be happy to travel to them if they're not based locally or can find somewhere to meet at the hospital. She anticipates using a semi structured interview to learn about their experiences and it may take 30-60 minutes of their time. Her contact details are - email nicolamellor@doctors.org.uk or by mobile on 07920097662.
