Dose banded chemotherapy standardised product specifications

Dose banded chemotherapy standardised product specifications

NHS England has published the first set of product specifications to support the production and supply of ready-made chemotherapy medicines. This supports the Chemotherapy Dose Standardisation programme and the utilisation of standard chemotherapy doses. The specifications will be utilised by procurement teams to ensure the NHS will purchase standard, ready-made products across the NHS in England. The scheme provides benefits for patients with ready to use products and drives safety throughout the system by standardising the products that are used. In addition, it provides benefits to trusts and commissioners in reducing waste.
