Dear UKAOS Member,

UKAOS has an active Data Quality Management Group who are very keen to share information about data collection for acute oncology services across the UK.

This is a very exciting PhD opportunity to explore the acute oncology pathway to improve support for patients. This novel PhD aims to understand what it is like to experience the acute oncology pathway, for patients, acute oncology staff and other Health Care Professionals (HCPs) who interact with acute oncology patients,  identifying unmet patient needs, understanding Health Care Professionals views and experiences of service delivery, and exploring where improvements could be made. This is an incredibly exciting and important area of research, and would be suited a researcher with experience of cancer, health care or health services research or a health care professional with research experience

UKAOS is pleased to announce their Annual Conference will be held as a face-to-face meeting in Birmingham on Friday 27th September 2024. The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Transforming Acute Oncology - Everyone’s Business’.
