International systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) advice

The Christie systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) unit is the largest single site facility in Europe.

The Christie is responsible for the safe delivery of over 49,000 treatments a year. In addition, some treatments are administered in the large network of outreach services consisting of 6 other hospital sites, 1 medical centre, 4 hospices and at The Christie at Macclesfield. The Christie also manages its own home care service.

We provide advice to clients on:

  • The establishment of SACT services
  • Chemotherapy delivery close to home
  • Chemotherapy delivery in the patients home
  • Establishing nurse led services to deliver SACT against agreed protocols
  • Setting up an ambulatory SACT service for haematological cancers

Please contact us for more information about our services in this area.
