SUMMARY:BOPA E&T [Live Online Webinar] Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy for Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer from a Dual Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 30th November 2022 at 19:00 – 20:00 GMT – Click HERE to register\n  \nThe BOPA Education and Training Subcommittee would like to invite you to one of our live webinar sessions on Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy for Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer from a dual perspective. \n  \nThe session will be delivered by: Birgit Cloos\, Cancer Services Pharmacist\, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust\n\n  \nThis webinar is FREE for all BOPA members and associates.\nClick here to join BOPA\n  \nBIOGRAPHY OF BIRGIT\nBirgit has been working in Cancer Services for almost 20 years. \nShe studied pharmacy in Germany in the 1990s before moving to the UK in 2002. She started as a basic grade pharmacist in Derriford Hospital Plymouth and became interested in oncology and haematology during the Bath Clinical Diploma. Since 2005 she has been working in various roles within the Cancer Services Team in Plymouth. Currently she is mostly involved with the safe and prompt implementation of new anticancer therapies and the training of other healthcare professionals in those new therapies. Birgit likes to learn and keep up to date with new therapies. In 2010 she completed a Master’s in Clinical Oncology with the University of Birmingham. She qualified as a NMP in 2011 however sadly due to the set up in Plymouth she never had the opportunity to develop her skills. She is hopeful that this will change one day in the future. \nBirgit’s life reached a bit of a turning point when she was diagnosed with early breast cancer in spring 2021 during the Covid pandemic. Suddenly she was on the receiving end of breast and oncology services. As a result of this cancer diagnosis and various other life changing events Birgit is now focussing even more on leading a healthy lifestyle and wants to enjoy life more fully. Recently she started a yoga teacher training course with the Devon School of Yoga and is hoping to combine pharmacy and yoga in the future. \n  \nRegister for your free place now via the link at the top of the page.

SUMMARY:[LIVE] Challenges & Success of Complex Cancer Pain Management - A BOPA Education & Training Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 18th May 2022 at 18:30 – 19:30 BST – Click HERE to register\n  \nThe BOPA Education and Training Subcommittee would like to invite you to one of our live webinar sessions on Challenges & Success of Complex Cancer Pain Management. \n  \nThe session will be delivered by: Dr Marie Joseph\, Lead Consultant in Palliative Medicine\, East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust\n  \nThis webinar is FREE for all BOPA members.\n(A BOPA FREE or PAID membership is required for registration. Join here)\n  \nAUTOBIOGRAPHY OF DR MARIE JOSEPH MBBS FRCP\n \nI qualified in 1981 with a first class honours degree in Medicine from the University of Colombo\, Sri-Lanka. \nI became a member of the Royal College of Physicians UK in 1985\, and was honoured as a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 2005. \nMy initial desire to pursue a career in cardiology was unexpectedly diverted by a patient in profound cancer pain. This led me to pursue a career in palliative medicine\, with a passion for cancer pain management since 1989. \nAfter working as medical director in a hospice for 18 years\, my desire was to give my services\, skills and knowledge to the NHS. Hence\, I am pleased and privileged to have joined East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust as Consultant lead in palliative medicine\, with special expertise in complex cancer pain management. In particular\, I am keen to reduce the phenomenon of ‘opioid induced hyperalgesia’ by the judicious and timely use of co-analgesic adjuvants with modest opioid doses. \nAs an accredited RCP educator\, I teach medical students\, emphasising the importance of combining clinical excellence with empathy in caring for patients. \nI am currently in the process of writing a book entitled ‘The Pain of Cancer’\, hopefully to be published later this year. \nOutside of medicine\, I enjoy playing classical music on the piano. I am grateful to the support given to me by my husband and my daughter\, who has recently qualified as a doctor. I derive my inner strength from my faith as a Christian Catholic. \n  \nRegister for your free place now via the link at the top of the page. (Note: You must be at least a BOPA FREE member.) Join here \nWe look forward to welcoming you all on the 18th May. \nBest Wishes\nAlkesh Patel and Bastiaan Buijtenhuijs\nCo-chairs of BOPA Education & Training Subcommittee

SUMMARY:My Research - Session 5: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) management in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in collaboration with COSACPG
DESCRIPTION:Session 5 (Wednesday 15th September at 19:00 BST) in Collaboration with COSACPG\n  \n \n  \nWe would like to invite you to join our  ‘My Research’ sessions. These sessions are delivered by members that have undertaken an audit or evaluation. They will spend 10 minutes describing their career pathway and the next 10 minutes about the research methods that they used. There will be time for detailed questions following the talk. These sessions will enable members to learn about quantitative and qualitative methods and the learning may guide and help you in your future projects. We also hope that this will be a good opportunity to learn about different career pathways in cancer pharmacy. \n  \nThe session will be delivered by: Julian Lindsay \n \nJulian Lindsay (BPharm\, MClinPharm\, PhD candidate) is a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Pharmacist at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney\, Australia and a research fellow and PhD candidate at the National Center for Infection in Cancer (NCIC) at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne\, Australia. His research interest is prevention of infections in patients with blood cancers and those undergoing bone marrow transplants including cytomegalovirus\, Epstein-barr virus and invasive fungal infections. He will be conducting research full time in Seattle\, USA\, at The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre\, in conjunction with the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne\, Australia. The research aims to address the critical knowledge gaps related to the optimization of antifungal prophylaxis\, involving large scale clinical studies of patient outcomes when using new antifungal medications\, as well as optimisation of antifungal dosing using pharmacogenomic testing to improve outcomes. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe session will be chaired by: Nick Duncan \n \nNick is an Academic Practitioner in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Birmingham and Consultant Haematology Pharmacist at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust\, UK.

You will need to scroll to the right to make sure you have seen and answered all the questions \nFollow the link: https://padlet.com/bruce_burnett1/skeyo66mgnm8oh08 \nYou can add your name or your hospital if you wish. We will share the Padlet wall after the session has run if everyone agrees to do so. Please do not share the link with non-BOPA members.

SUMMARY:UK BMT Pharmacists’ Group Educational Meeting
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: Given the ongoing developments in terms of COVID-19\, the UK BMT Pharmacists’ Group has taken the decision to postpone the educational meeting that was due to take place in London on Friday 13th March.  They are hoping to rearrange for later in the year. \n  \n  \nThe UK BMT Pharmacists’ Group (a special-interest group affiliated to BOPA) is running an educational meeting at University College Hospital (UCH Education Centre\, 250 Euston Road\, London NW1 2PG)\, on the afternoon of Friday 13th March. \nAlthough the meeting will have a transplant-focus\, we have tried to make the agenda fairly broad\, and all pharmacists with an interest in haematology are very welcome to attend. \nThere is no registration fee and no need to pre-register but it would help from a logistical point of view if you could email: nick.duncan@uhb.nhs.uk  if you are planning to attend \nBMT meeting Agenda March 2020 \nThanks – Nick Duncan and the BOPA Committee
