Pharmacy Group
The UKMS Pharmacy Group was established in the Summer of 2021, with the inaugural meeting of the core steering group taking place in January 2022.
The aim of the Group is to promote excellence in the pharmaceutical care of patients with myeloma.
The group supports pharmacy education and delivers an annual pharmacy education day.
We develop guidelines and encourage cancer pharmacists to undertake high quality, audit and research (aligned with UKMS and UK MRA workplans). The group supports standardisation of clinical pharmacy practice across the UK.
We are establishing a network of pharmacists with a specialist interest in myeloma across the UK. This provides increased opportunity for peer support and encourage sharing of good clinical practice.
