UK Chemotherapy Partnership
New cancer drugs and treatment startegies improve cancer outcomes but put additional strain on already stretched chemotherapy services. Despite the pressures, dedicated NHS staff are successfully redesigning chemotherapy care pathways to improve the quality of patient care.
The UK Chemotherapy Partnership encourages front line staff to share their experience of service redesign. The new website www.ukchemotherapypartnership.org.uk invites NHS staff to contribute examples of best practice in their area, compiling a library of experience that might help others with their own service redesign.
The UK Chemotherapy Partnership Executive Committee: Dermot Ball, John McPhelim, Carolyn Maynard, Roger James, Elaine Lennan
- Shared care models: expert nurses and pharmacists reviewing patients receiving treatment
- Closer to home: New outreach services in District General Hospitals, Community Clinics, and in the patient’s home
- Acute oncology: dealing with emergency situations
- Oral chemotherapy: opportunities to streamline services for patients and staff
