It includes accessible introductions to how different chemotherapeutic drugs work and how to manage their side effects, plus a bank of prescribing scenarios for doctors and pharmacists to practice clinical decision making.
The modules have been designed to support health care professionals involved either directly in prescribing systemic anti-cancer therapies (SACT) or looking after patients on these treatments. They are designed to provide an introduction or refresher to the basic principles of SACT prescribing. They are not designed to give clinical direction in patient management or replace local guidelines and recommendations, which should be consulted when making prescribing decisions.
The more advanced content is directly aligned to the curriculae for medical oncology, clinical oncology and haemotology for specialist trainees, and to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Cancer Care Curriculum and the BOPA competency framework for specialist oncology pharmacists.
