BOPA 2018 | Visibility of Oncology Pharmacists to patients

Oncology Pharmacists play an important role in the treatment and management of patients, but how visible are they to their patients? When Oncology Pharmacist, Shereen Nabhani-Gebara, PharmD, BCOP, from Kingston University, London, UK, found herself “on the other side” of the table, it became clear to her that while patients and their carers receive an overwhelming amount of information regarding treatments, they have limited interaction with Oncology Pharmacists. Following this experience, Dr Nabhani-Gebara developed two surveys, one for parents of children receiving cancer treatment, and the other for Oncology Pharmacists, in order to learn more about this relationship.
