Independent Sector Cancer Network (ISCN) Publish NEW Cancer Service Guidelines

The Independent Sector Cancer Network (ISCN) is a strategic quality governance and safety group which aims to improve independard sector cancer provision though effective collaboration and sharing of best practice across the Independent Sector Cancer Services within the UK.

The ISCN is comprised of expert members who are senior leaders in cancer care, representing nursing, therapeutic radiology, and pharmacy. Over the past years, our team has diligently worked on developing these guidelines to be implemented across the independent sector, aiming to standardise and elevate clinical practice. Although led by the ISCN, this document has transferability to all cancer services.

The ISCN Cancer Service Guidelines 2024 are now readily available for use. These guidelines are designed to:

  • Guide quality of care in practice: Providing a comprehensive framework to ensure the highest standards of patient care.
  • Offer a benchmarking framework: Enabling teams to measure and compare their practices against established standards.
  • Standardize clinical practice: Ensuring consistency and excellence in cancer care across the independent sector.

The ISCN believes these guidelines will significantly contribute to improving patient outcomes and fostering a culture of continuous improvement in cancer care. The ISCN would encourage all teams to integrate these guidelines into their daily practice and use them as a tool for achieving excellence in patient care.

Best regards,
Independent Sector Cancer Network (ISCN)
