Today marks World Cancer Day under the theme “United by unique,” which places people at the centre of care and their stories at the heart of the conversation. 

To mark the occasion, FIP launched a new CPD Bites series highlighting the vital role pharmacists play in supporting people undergoing cancer treatment.

The series explores key aspects of supportive care and treatment-related complications. Across four expert-led episodes, pharmacists’ contributions are showcased in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea caused by anticancer therapies, and myelosuppression — including neutropenia, anaemia and thrombocytopenia.

Produced in collaboration with the International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners (ISOPP), this CPD Bites series reinforces pharmacists’ essential role in improving treatment outcomes and quality of life for people living with cancer.
