NHS England’s Medicine Optimisation and Chemotherapy CRGs have been developing a standardised set of national dose bands for chemotherapy drug doses. This approach offers many benefits to NHS Trusts in terms of reduction of cost and drug wastage. The implementation of this set of standard dose bands is being mandated to all NHS Trusts in the UK for chemotherapy doses.

Managing dose banding in an electronic chemotherapy prescribing system can be very time consuming and a continuous effort for pharmacists, especially as the national dose bands are being rolled out across more drugs and existing dose band tables are occasionally being updated.

There is an easy way for dose bands to be managed using iQemo. By using iQ HealthTech’s innovative cloud hosted chemotherapy prescribing solution, iQemo, means that updating and maintaining dose bands is a thing of the past.

If you are a pharmacist and would like more information on how iQemo can save you time maintaining chemotherapy dose bands don't hesitate to get in touch.
