Chemotherapy treatment (also known as Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy or SACT) is high risk with mortality within 30-days of treatment ranging from <1->10% depending on the patient population treated, with higher mortality in less fit patients treated with palliative intent. Checklists have been shown to improve safety so we sought to develop a proforma encompassing a checklist of the key assessment parameters from the MCS and to include learning from local 30-day checklists of the key assessment parameters from the MCS and to include learning from local 30-day chemotherapy M&M meetings and incident reviews.
