The OECI Accreditation and Designation User Manual is the result of a successful collaboration among the A&D Programme, the OECI Members, the cancer centres/institutes in the A&D Programme, and the auditors involved in the peer review process.

The Manual builds on OECI’s 12 successful years of experience in cancer quality systems in Europe and contains the Quality Standards and Quantitative data measures for European cancer centres/institutes.

The OECI A&D Programme is widely recognised as the only Cancer Accreditation Programme which includes cancer centres/institutes in almost every country in Europe.

It is also the only cancer quality programme whose standards have been accredited by the International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQua).

The set of Quality Standards represents a true European consensus for evaluating the performance of cancer centres/ institutes.
