- No major changes/problems (expected management change, merger, housing movements, financial crisis),
- Following the steps of the A&D programme with care and within the required timeline,
- Involvement in oncology research and education programmes.
- Provision of oncology surgery, radiation therapy and medical oncology,
- Cancer care is performed in an identifiable unit with an identifiable budget, management and organisational structure.
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.
