Manifesto for Human Connection and True Healing
Dear comrades in spirit for a humane world,
Flight, displacement, and death have long been a reality – regardless of whether they are caused by internal strife or external attacks. Nevertheless, I am not content to accept
inhumane conditions as normal.
In our 25th anniversary year, I have therefore written the following personal manifesto to
encourage everyone to stand together for what is good and humane:
Yours Klaus Meier
A Heartfelt Thank You for Supporting the “Yellow Hand” Initiative
The European Society of Oncology Pharmacy (ESOP) extends its sincere gratitude to all pharmaceutical companies and healthcare professionals who have embraced the “Yellow Hand”
symbol as a mark of safety, responsibility, and care. We sincerely hope to continue encouraging everyone involved in the handling and transport of cytotoxic drugs to actively support and promote the use of the “Yellow Hand” as a symbol of safety and care.
For over a decade, their shared commitment has played a vital role in protecting healthcare workers and patients alike by ensuring the safe handling and transport of cytotoxic drugs. By clearly identifying hazardous substances during both external shipping and internal delivery, they enable swift, professional responses in case of contamination and set a strong example for safety, sustainability, and best practices in healthcare logistics.
Clicking on the logo will lead you to further information about the initiative and its commitment to enhancing safety in the handling of cytotoxic drugs.
By decision of the General Assembly of 24th October 2018 in Nantes, the implementation of an organized membership survey in all member countries should be conducted.
In this survey, the possible goals and obstacles in the context of future development within the societies and thus also the Oncology Pharmacy should be surveyed and compiled at the end of the year in an overall report. A report about the results was published in EJOP (EJOP. 6(1):e00043, January-March 2023.)
ESOP is asking again. We encourage everyone to fill out this questionnaire again, because we want to know whether COVID and other crises have changed the goals and ideas about the future of oncology pharmacy.
ESOP supports the worldwide Petition
ESOP – the world’s largest multinational oncology pharmacy society,
supporting the interests of cancer patients.
