Abstract:
This article reflects on the changing nature of the provision of care and delivery of ambulatory systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) services. It reviews the national guidance and looks at ambulatory SACT in terms of patients being treated closer to home, i.e. ambulatory care in its truest sense.
