Paediatric oncology ambulatory care is a specialist service that supports children and young people (CYP) with cancer who do not need to stay overnight in hospital. Instead of inpatient admission CYP will attend day care for planned treatments such as chemotherapy, blood tests, transfusions, symptom management, and follow-up reviews, then return home the same day.

This model of care helps minimise disruption to family life, reduces time spent in hospital, and supports a more child-centred, flexible approach to treatment while maintaining close clinical oversight.
