The British Oncology Pharmacy
Association work in consultation with professionals, both inside and outside the
pharmacy profession, to produce publications and position
statements on certain topics. In addition BOPA publish a
newsletter several times a year, circulated in hard copy to all members and archived on the website.
Publications may reflect work of one or
more individuals on an area relating to cancer pharmacy, access to which is
considered by the BOPA committee, to be of benefit to the membership.
Position statements are sometimes
considered useful in the clarification of certain contentious pharmaceutical
issues relating to cancer. These statements are often provided by the committee
(and are endorsed by the Network Pharmacists Forum in some instances) in
response to concerns from the membership. They are intended to provide guidance
for members and also encourage a common response. The position statements on
this web-site are not legally binding and represent a consensus view. This area
of the web-site also shows collated responses to comments on consultation
documents.
