The 2014 National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP) Medication safety review recommended that national guidance be developed on the optimum built environment of a haematology/oncology day ward. A guidance document has been developed which will be relevant to frontline staff in medical oncology and haemato-oncology day units, infection prevention and control services, clinical directors, service managers, estates/technical services departments and risk management personnel.
The NCCP is seeking your feedback on this draft document as part of a formal consultation process.
Please review the below documents:
1. Draft NCCP Guidance on the Built Environment of a Haematology/Oncology Day Ward
2. Consultation feedback form and Declaration of Interest Form
Please document any feedback, suggested changes or comments in the consultation feedback form ensuring that the section and page number your comment refers to is clearly indicated. If you would like to suggest any changes, full references of the evidence must be provided. We cannot consider any changes unless supporting evidence is included.
The declaration of Interest form must be signed and return with your consultation feedback form in order for your feedback to be considered by the working group.
Please feel free to circulate this guidance document along with the attached feedback form and Declaration of Interest Form to any staff/colleagues as appropriate. The document is also be available on the NCCP website http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/5/cancer/consultations/.
