BOPA & UKONS Conference 2009
The first ever joint BOPA (British Oncology Pharmacy Association) annual symposium and UKONS (UK Oncology Nursing Society) annual conference took place this month in Brighton. A total of 675 delegates attended over the 4 days, and the busy exhibition hall, which held 53 stands, contributed a vibrant feel to proceedings. But with more than 50 talks, meetings and workshops, not to mention numerous posters, the emphasis was firmly on work.
The overarching feeling of BOPA & UKONS 2009 was one of mutual respect, collaboration and shared priorities—for example, it was abundantly clear that pharmacists and nurses alike want to play an active role in research and drug prescribing. So successful was this first joint venture that it felt like the wedding reception of what promises to be a long and happy marriage.
