About this study day
This study day will introduce attendees to the health and safety requirements involved in cytotoxic chemotherapy and the considerations needed for targeted therapies. Health and safety will encompass that of the administrator, environment and patient both in a hospital and home context. The latest research guidance will be given, along with the debate of issues that are not clear cut in practice.
The programme of study is particularly useful to nurses who are just beginning their career in cancer or work in speciality areas where cytotoxic agents are used.
All staff are made to feel very welcome.
Please note that guidance is offered in respect of the achievement of competency in this area but this is not assessed during the study day. Employers are requested to be aware that assessment of practice is within the clinical domain and responsibility of the employer.
N.B These study days can be used within a work based module to achieve credits. For further information please contact Fiona
