You may be aware that there is some concern about the compatibility of certain brands of folinic acid with oxaliplatin. A group of pharmacists, on behalf of the British Oncology Pharmacy Association would like to develop a national consensus on the best approach to handling this situation.

They are planning to hold an on-line delphi consensus meeting on Tuesday 26th September 2023 at 7pm (BST). The aim is to review the published information and then (if possible) to reach a consensus. We are looking for UK based:

  • Pharmacists & Pharmacy Technicians with clinical backgrounds where infusional fluorouracil with folinic acid are routinely used
  • Pharmacists & Pharmacy Technicians or other experts from Quality Assurance, Quality Control, Health Informatics and Aseptic backgrounds
  • Pharmacists or Pharmacy Technicians with involvement in medicines procurement
  • Medication Safety Officers
  • Medical or clinical oncologists with significant experience in the design of folinic acid based chemotherapy protocols
  • Other multi-disciplinary team members, including chemotherapy nurses, with relevant expertise

to participate in an on-line meeting lasting up to 90 minutes. The meeting will present an overview of the available data and present a number of proposed solutions to be considered by the audience. The audience will be expected to participate in a series of votes during the meeting. Participation is open to BOPA and non-BOPA members.

The purpose of the meeting would be to produce a document that can be published.
