Acute Oncology Service (AOS) in NHS Scotland: principles
Lays out the agreed key principles that underpin an effective Acute Oncology Service (AOS) in NHS Scotland and outlines the clinical standards and proposed outcome measures against which services can be developed and monitored.
14. Conclusion and Next Steps
This principles document has been developed by the National Acute Oncology Short Life Working Group (Appendix 1) and will be submitted to the National Cancer Recovery Group for ratification. Further to this it is recommended that the associated draft outcome measures are concluded, following which the national SLWG in its current form is stood down.
It is anticipated that going forward the Scottish Government Health Department should consider the formation of an appropriate governance body to oversee ongoing analysis, monitoring and publication of the future AOS outcome measures.
