#2195 Audit of a New Nurse-Led Non-Medical Prescribing (NMP) Clinic for Systemic Anti-Cancer Agents (SACTs)

Introduction: The number of people living with cancer in the UK continues to rise with increased demands on specialist cancer care services. NET incidence and prevalence increases alongside this demand. NETs remain a rare cancer with specialist needs. The clinical nurse specialist (CNS) is ideally placed to support these patients. Oncology clinics are increasingly pressured, the need to think of innovative ways of reducing strain whilst maintaining and enhancing the patients experience is important. To address this we set up a nurse-led SACT NMP clinic alongside the oncology clinic to improve patient experience and reduce oncologist clinic review.

#1319 Neuroendocrine Cancer Patient Experience Survey

Introduction: Annually a national patient cancer survey (NCPES) is performed to assess perceived patient care. It was noted that in the previous cancer experience surveys patients with NET had not been invited to participate. The NET Patient Foundation (NETPF) commissioned Quality Health to undertake this survey in patients with a known diagnosis of neuroendocrine cancer. The patients were identified via NET centres of excellence around England.

#455 Depression and Carcinoid Syndrome: Is There Any Relationship? A Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction: The relationship between brain serotonin and depression is well-established. It is also widely accepted that serotonin hyperproduction in carcinoid syndrome does not cross the brain barrier. CNS serotonin is synthesised from tryptophan within serotonergic neurons and a deficiency of this precursor could be possible on carcinoid patients.
