SACT Regional Guidlelines
SACT Guidelines
Guidelines and protocols to support healthcare professionals to give Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) safely and treat any side-effects or complications that patients receiving SACT may experience.
The NCA coordinates the development of a regional approach to the management of SACT in our six North of Scotland health boards.
Below are the current guidelines; over time more will be added to this page:
