Every day, oncology pharmacists make a difference in the lives of cancer patients around the world. Part of ISOPP’s mission is to support and reward this vital work. We do this through our Grants & Awards program.   

 

ISOPP invited members and non-members to complete the ISOPP membership survey conducted from August 16 to September 13 as part of the ISOPP’s ongoing commitment to create value for our members. We sought input to inform our strategic priorities, website revamp project, communication practices and advocacy initiatives.

 

ISOPP identified that, around the world, the role of the pharmacist in managing immunotherapy varies significantly.  ISOPP has a role in supporting pharmacists through provision of education, guidance and resources.  To that end, ISOPP created an Immunotherapy Task Force, whose objectives are to develop an ISOPP position statement on the pharmacist's role in the era of immunotherapy, provide education, provide advice on implementation issues in clinical practice and deliver enhanced professional development resources on immunotherapy.  

 

In 2019, ISOPP held an international Biosimilars workshop during which the African participants highlighted several challenges to the introduction of Biosimilars into their local practice. We would like to explore these challenges further, with a view to designing educational materials and resources which meet the specific needs of oncology pharmacists and other oncology professionals in Africa.
