1598PEscalation plans and DNACPR discussions in the unwell oncology patient

We believe our model can be implemented in other oncology centres and look forward to discussing this further.Legal entity responsible for the studyNational Health Service, UK.FundingHas not received any funding.DisclosureAll authors have declared no conflicts of interest.
