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.

Save the Date: ECOP 6 from 2-4 October 2024 in Lisbon

The experiences of the last meetings, 2012 in Budapest, Hungary, 2014 in Krakow, Poland, 2016 in Dubrovnik, Croatia, 2018 in Nantes, France and 2022 in Hamburg, Germany have reassured us of the importance of personal exchange not only on a national but on an international level as well. 

ECOP 6 offers a tremendous opportunity for exchange and debate between its nearly 4.000 members, colleagues, and partners from more than 69 countries worldwide. The spacious meeting facilities in Lisbon congress center give us the opportunity to organize a great face-to-face conference.

Join over 30 hours of advanced education with keynote lectures, practical and clinical lecture sessions, workshops, scientific symposia and poster sessions, highlighting all fields of oncology pharmacy. 

Get yourself involved and present your own work at our extensive poster exhibition – inspire and be inspired by the work of colleagues from around the world. And have a stroll around our vast exhibition area and experience new products and information from pharmaceutical companies.

We look forward to welcome you in person in Lisbon and celebrate the best in oncology pharmacy with you!
