Let specially trained cancer pharmacists prescribe anti-sickness drugs, growth-factor support and routine dose adjustments under protocols, freeing oncologists for decisions only they can make.
Oncology pharmacists already check every chemotherapy prescription; in several countries (UK, parts of Canada and the US) they hold independent or collaborative prescribing rights for supportive medicines and protocol dose modifications. Extending this model widely, with a defined competency framework, removes a large fraction of routine prescribing from oncologists' clinics and shortens chair waits caused by prescription queries.
