#4096 Co-production of patient information: A model for today’s practice

Introduction: According to the British Medical Association, good quality patient information is fundamental to effective, patient-centred, quality care. It rightly considers patients as partners in their care, “Co-production involves engaging groups of people who use healthcare services, in equal partnership; at the earliest stages of service design, development and evaluation. It acknowledges that people with ‘lived experience’ of a particular condition are often best placed to advise on what support and services will make a positive difference to their lives.” (NHS England) The re-introduction of a liver transplantation programme in the UK for selected patients with a Neuroendocrine Neoplasm offers new opportunities to improve survival and quality of life: good quality information is a key tool for informed consent.

#3517 The role of the NET clinical nurse specialist in managing carcinoid heart disease patients: Optimising patient care

Introduction: The diagnosis of carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is often made late and requires a highly experienced team to manage multiple issues, such as heart failure, carcinoid symptoms and poor nutrition. Prior to December 2018 NET (Neuroendocrine Tumor) and cardiac teams were working in isolation, this resulted in missed opportunities for intervention and comprehensive review. It was evident we needed to build closer collaborations with our cardiac colleagues, to ensure timely assessment, optimisation of symptoms and improve patients’ overall experience. The Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) were fundamental in establishing a twice monthly CHD/NET multidisciplinary team meeting and monthly joint NET/CHD clinic. Patients were kept informed at each stage by the CNS, either during telephone consultation, ward visit or at clinic appointments.
