National Acute Oncology

This week is National Acute Oncology week - a chance to spotlight the essential work of AO teams and the growing need for safe, senior‑led decision support.

SCUK’s newly launched AO service offers rapid consultant advice supported by a clear governance framework, giving clinical teams a practical way to strengthen decision‑making and flow.

We are delighted to welcome Professor Anna Olsson-Brown as our Clinical Director for Acute Oncology. A nationally recognised leader in acute oncology and immunotherapy toxicity, Anna will help shape and develop this exciting new area of support, strengthening the specialist expertise available across the SCUK network. We’re already speaking with several organisations about how this model could support their AO pathways, and we’d welcome conversations with others exploring similar needs. If you’d be interested in an informal chat about your AO pressures or priorities, please do get in touch. Keep up to date with developments by signing up to our newsletter‍
