Members use the “Yellow Hand”
For 10 years we have been calling on all pharmaceutical companies to use the “Yellow Hand” as a label when shipping cancer drugs, in order to encourage the proper handling of these drugs during transport and delivery.
In order to set a good example of safe supply, many pharmacies use the “Yellow Hand” to label transport containers in which the individually prepared drug solutions or syringes are brought internally to the place of administration.
Today we want to present a special award to all those members who send us a photo of the use of the “Yellow Hand” in their work area.
This award will be presented for the first time at ECOP 6 in Lisbon and subsequently at the respective national conferences of our member societies.
In the following is an example of the use of the “Yellow Hand” that we took at my place of work some time ago.
I ask all members to send their photo to the membership service by September 7th so that we can prepare the award ceremony early.
