SACT Study Day

Outline: Participants will gain an understanding of the nursing care needs of patients undergoing systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT).

Learning Outcomes: This study day aims to develop the learner’s skills and knowledge required to become competent in administration of Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) for children and young people (CYP). Learners will then be required to complete the CCLG/UKONS SACT Competency Passport. It is designed for clinicians handling and administering SACT and treating children and young people within Principal Treatment Centre (PTC), Paediatric Oncology Shared Care Units (POSCUs) and community services.

Pre-requisition theoretical learning: Before clinicians complete the SACT Study Day and Passport, they should have received foundation stage of training as detailed in the Children’s Cancer Measures (National Cancer Peer Review, November 2021 ).This usually involves work-based education or attending a locally designed training day/program, or a university module.
