The number of cancer technology appraisals has increased dramatically over the last couple of years and this has led to an increasing amount of pressure on the NHS to implement and deliver these innovative new medicines to patients.

The issue of protocols has been raised multiple times at our annual conference and educational events by the membership. This questionnaire is looking to quantify the pharmacy resource required across England, Wales, Scotland and NI to undertake this process. As a result of the survey, BOPA will look at ways to help reduce this duplication.

Please take the time to complete this important survey by the 18th June.

The survey will take approximately 10minutes to complete.

Melanie Dalby, Rich Allen and the A&R committee
