Integrated Cancer Education for Oncology Pharmacists

The role of oncology pharmacists in the care of patients with cancer is critical given the complexities related to cost, tolerability, safety of oral oncology medications, issues of access, monitoring and follow-up of patients receiving this therapy. 

The Novartis Virtual Learning Series is designed to keep oncology pharmacists informed on the evolving body of knowledge in oncology and to help pharmacists implement new best processes at their clinical settings for better patient outcomes.

  • Provide world-class online education for oncology pharmacists
  • Drive awareness of the burden of disease, such as solid tumour cancers, haematology cancers, and showcase the value of innovative treatments in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
