The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre NHS Trust are acting on behalf of Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board who are urgently seeking an external partner to provide additional chemotherapy treatments for up to six slots a week from the 1st June 2019 due to insufficent capacity from increasing demand and decreasing nursing availability.

- scheduling of patients and agreeing cut off times for prescribers and pharmacy verification by which scripts must be scheduled/confirmed

- ensuring their chemotherapy nurses are operating to the same standards as C&V chemotherapy nurses and C&V policy (or equivalent) is followed
