Welcome to the SACT Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy Dataset website

The SACT dataset collects systemic anti-cancer therapy activity from all NHS England providers. It is a mandatory collection and the world’s first comprehensive database, allowing us to understand treatment patterns and outcomes on a national scale.

This website contains the latest information and support available from the SACT team.

SACT data improvement requirements for the MO CQUIN

The NHS England medicine optimisation (MO) CQUIN includes targets for SACT data improvement.  These targets were published in the SACT MO CQUIN guidance, September 2017 and updated January 2018 (see above). The SACT data improvement areas included in the MO CQUIN were developed by the SACT team in partnership with NHS England.

Trusts not signed up to the MO CQUIN can still benefit from reviewing and where necessary improving their data. These targets will form part of the NHSE standard contract for all trusts from 2019.

For details of how to evaluate performance against MO CQUIN targets please see the Reports page.

For support in reaching MO CQUIN targets please contact the SACT data liaison officers Nicola (Nicola.ace@phe.gov.uk) and Prisclica (Prisclica.thiruchelvam@phe.gov.uk) who will be happy to arrange a visit.
