Acute Oncology Support

Instant access to emergency cancer treatment protocols via your smart phone.

The Acute Oncology Support App provides staff across the NHS with instant access to emergency cancer treatment protocols via their smart phones.

The App provides free, up to date, NHS approved, simple straightforward guidelines on how to treat cancer emergencies. The App will help clinical teams assess cancer patients who attend hospitals or other clinical settings with unexpected complications or problems from their cancer or its treatment; from spinal cord compression to complications of immunotherapy.

It has been developed by cancer experts across Wales and funded by Velindre Cancer Charity. Cancer treatments are changing rapidly and keeping up to date can be challenging both for cancer experts and front line clinicians. The App allows you to access expert knowledge, supported by national guidelines but is always available on your phone without need to use NHS computers or passwords.
