#internationalclinicaltrialsday We wish to thank our Cancer Clinical Trials team, a group of highly skilled investigators, research nurses, clinical trial coordinators, research assistants, pharmacist & team manager, utilising their skills to ensure patients have access to trials

[michaeltmccarthy @mccarthymt7]

On a daily basis in Ireland, pharmacists routinely verify chemotherapy/SACT prescriptions, and when they detect an error, request its correction.

Pharmacists in my experience are the most nerdy, scrupulous and precise employees in the hospital.

@DonnellyStephen has launched a public consultation on prescribing rights for pharmacists.

In my opinion, pharmacists should have specialist career pathways, legalised prescribing rights acknowledged in new contracts, adequate negotiated governance, and clinical indemnity equivalent to physicians. It seems an obvious case of underutilised expertise.

Here is the link to the public consultation:

De-escalation of steroids for management of CINV.

Very interesting and is this something we should be looking at more in routine practice?
Do we need to use as much steroids?

Interesting to consider where CAR-T and BiTE therapies could fit together in the treatment pathway.

Will we see more BiTE therapies reimbursed and available for use in Ireland.
