• According to this model of demand and demand variations for magnetic resonance-linac (MR-linac) it could service 16% of England's fraction burden. The variations in simulated demand of the MR-linac highlight the requirement to use local-level data when planning to introduce a new technology.

COVID-19 ICU Preparation Simulation

COVID-19 ICU Preparation Simulation
SIMUL8 5 June 2020

• A covid-19 ICU preparation simulation tool from SIMUL8, designed to help hospitals evaluate the bed, ventilator and staffing levels needed to cope with covid-19 patients is now available to download. 

Optimising design of out of hospital services for Denosumab

Optimising design of out of hospital services for Denosumab
Cancer Vanguard 23 October 2017

• UCLH Cancer Collaborative has partnered with Amgen to develop a simulation modelling tool that allows multiple delivery pathways of denosumab (whether in hospital, in primary care, in the community or at home) to be to be tested for financial and patient experience impact. 
• An options appraisal document and user guide will accompany the model in a toolkit available to all NHS Trusts and CCGs. 
• The project toolkit is accessible to NHS staff with an NHS email address.
