– Does this mean that in 9 hours I will be an expert in oncology? Oncology is one of the most complex medical specialities today. This course is a basic oncology course aimed at community pharmacies so that, based on the knowledge of a pharmacy graduate, we can add the basic and up-to-date knowledge that will be most necessary to accompany and provide better care to oncology patients. This will give us greater confidence in what we can and cannot do. Recertification sessions will be held annually.
– What makes this course different from other oncology courses for community pharmacists? – This course is taught by leading oncologists. The content is not associated with any laboratory products. It is a rigorous, scientific training programme endorsed by the ECO Foundation. The programme covers many aspects of the patient’s daily life in which the community pharmacy is the first point of contact and can be of great help. It is also the first course that leads to a certification in oncology endorsed by a highly prestigious and independent organisation such as the ECO Foundation.
