Guide to Ambulatory Care Service Development
A working party within the CCLG Ambulatory Care Network Special Interest Group have developed this guide to assist services interested in setting up new ambulatory care services or continuing the development of new services. It provides suggestions and a checklist approach to ensure key constituents have been considered. The group has used the expertise of those already involved in establishing ambulatory care services and reviewed existing UK evidence. A fundamental underpinning is the safety, confidence and experience of patients and their families, in the context of hospital infrastructure, workforce, equipment, planning, delivery and evaluation.
Questions can be directed to the Ambulatory Care Special Interest Group via info@cclg.org.uk.
Developing young people’s ambulatory cancer care services
This resource communicates the findings of a three-year study, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), which set out to explore and build evidence about how well AC meets the care needs and supports the well-being of young people.
It offers a practical guide to those interested in developing an AC service covering set-up considerations, critical factors for success, practical tips, and how all patients can experience some of the benefits of AC (even as inpatients) through the promotion of young people’s autonomy and agency. It is an evidence-informed resource that gives voice to the experiences of young people and their companions.
