'The patient is the single most unused person in healthcare'
As a group of cancer professional organisations, we are writing to express our serious concerns about a critical lack of capacity within oncology departments
Read the Letter below
@ACPUK
@RCRadiologists
@UKONSmember
UK oncology departments are facing a critical lack of capacity to deliver systemic anti-cancer therapies (SACT) to patients.
That's why we, along with
@ACPUK
,
@BOPACommittee
and
@UKONSmember
, have written to
@SteveBarclay
outlining the challenge and requesting to meet.
📣Members of the UK SACT Board
UK SACT Board’s new guidance on Prescriber competencies for reviewing and prescribing SACT has been published today. It is available from the Publications section on the UKSB website.
