Monday 26th June 2023 1-2pm BST

We 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 time describing their career pathway and discuss 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.

 

The session will be delivered by: 

Dr Roelof van Leeuwen, Hospital Pharmacist and Researcher

Ruben Malmberg, PhD Candidate and Clinical Trial Pharmacist

Dr. Roelof van Leeuwen and Ruben Malmberg both work at the Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The EMC, one of the country’s leading oncology centres, evaluated the IV administration process of immunotherapy.

Is it possible to treat more IO patients with the same resources and maintaining high quality care? In the Connect and Go program, Over 100 patients were treated with immunotherapy via an elastomeric pump. This ambulatory pump allows these patients to wander around instead of spending 30 to 60 minutes in the infusion chair.

During the webinar the hosts will address several questions, such as: what lessons are learned? How were the patients monitored? How did patients and staff value the program and how much time can be saved?

The session will be chaired by: Research Subcommittee
