Abstract
The acute oncology service (AOS) was a concept born out from the National Chemotherapy Advisory Group in 2009 [1]. This was a repercussion of the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) report ‘For better, for worse?’ in 2008, looking into deaths that happened within 30 days of chemotherapy delivery [2]. The main role of AOS is to ensure patients are treated in a timely manner, with the appropriate oncological approach [3,4]. This editorial explores the role of the specialty oncology trainee within AOS and its impact on training.
