The Association of Cancer Physicians (ACP) is a specialty association in the United Kingdom for medical oncologists. The ACP is recognised by the Royal College of Physicians and the Department of Health, and provides training and regular meetings for members.{{Cite web|url=http://www.theacp.org.uk/about-the-acp|title=What is the ACP?|last=|first=|date=|website=theacp.org.uk|access-date=}}
Membership of the ACP gives medical oncologists an independent voice in the affairs of the Royal College of Physicians, the Joint Collegiate Council for Oncology (JCCO) and the Specialty Advisory Committee (SAC), who supervise training and accreditation.
Through this, we:
- Promote the views and interests of medical oncologists to the DoH and RCP
- Influence policy on consultant expansion
- Develop training curricula and the upcoming specialty examination
- Participate in NICE appraisal and guideline development
- Encourage the development of best practice to benefit patients
- Nominate members for National Clinical Excellence Awards
