Cancer centres who apply for re-accreditation do not need to fill out the Application form, as they have already been approved to participate in the OECI A&D Programme. They will be notified by the OECI A&D Management Unit how and when they need to apply for their re-accreditation. The re-accreditation process will start after submitting the Designation form in the e-tool.
