<p>The latest Cancer Patient Experience Survey (CPES) results, from 2013, show that
whilst variations between trusts still exist, the overall range of variation for many
indicators has narrowed.</p><p> </p><p>For example, in 2010 the proportion of patients
saying that they had been given the name of a Clinical Nurse Specialist ranged from
92% in the highest performing trust to 59% in the poorest performing trust (33 points);
by 2013 this had reduced to 97% to 76% (21 points).</p><p> </p><p>NHS England is working
with NHS Improving Quality to develop better ways of using CPES data within the National
Health Service in order to maximise the impact of the survey, to be able to work with
successful and struggling organisations to spread best practice for example. Their
intention is that the learning from this can then be transferred across all surveys
to understand what the barriers are to implementing change and to showcase best practice
where real improvements can be demonstrated.</p>
