A study to quantify knowledge obtained during the British Oncology Pharmacy Association (BOPA) Introduction to Oncology (ITO) Course.

Introduction: The British Oncology Pharmacy Association (BOPA) Introduction to Oncology (ITO) course has run for over 20 years. The ITO course is provided free of charge to BOPA PAID members, and there was an increase in cost moving to a two-day event in 2023. The BOPA Education and Training (E&T) subcommittee and BOPA Executive Committee wanted to validate that the course was meeting its objective of improving the baseline knowledge of the pharmacists and pharmacy technicians attending, and therefore justifying the increased cost to BOPA and employing organisations.
