Acute Oncology:
The Trust provides an inpatient service for selected non-elective admissions where the reason for
admission is primarily related to the patient’s underlying malignant diagnosis or its treatment. All admissions are already in receipt of oncology care at the Trust.


The normal route of admission is via our 24hr hotline which triages patients and diverts patients to their Acute Trust A&E if appropriate (e.g. chest pain and acute abdominal pain). This is, therefore, not an unselected intake. Those who are admitted usually spend the first 24 – 72 hours on an acute assessment ward (staffed during the day by a consultant in Acute Medicine or General Medicine) and are then transferred to one of the base wards if their admission requires a longer stay.


In addition, patients are admitted electively for treatment or procedures.
The current bed base for this service is 80 beds across several wards. Senior cover for the inpatients is provided jointly between the patient’s Oncology Team (Consultant and Resident Doctor),supplemented by the Hospitalist Team.

The Hospitalist team is a group of colleagues with general medical, acute medicine and oncology
backgrounds providing senior input to the non-surgical oncology patients admitted to the Trust as
above, in liaison with the patient’s Oncology Team.
This post will also provide 1 PA Acute Oncology support at Macclesfield both on site and virtual support.
