This paediatric version of the Antineoplastic Drug Administration Course (ADAC) supports health professionals to develop the necessary knowledge and clinical skills to administer antineoplastic drugs to children, and handle related waste safely.
ADAC provides standardised education for the safe handling and administration of antineoplastic drugs. The course consists of eight eLearning guides and eQuizzes, supervised clinical practice, a one day workshop to consolidate theory to clinical practice and competency assessments to assess clinical skill. There are three exit points in the courses for those participants only requiring education to a certain skills level.
