Why should you attend?
Occupational exposure to hazardous drugs poses a threat to the safety of healthcare personnel. It is a persistent issue in Canadian and American healthcare institutions. The USP <800> chapter offers ideal recommendations to standardize practice and mitigate risks to patients, healthcare personnel, and the environment. USP 800 will help fill the gap to protect pharmacy personnel and other healthcare workers who come in contact with hazardous drugs. It will be an enforceable chapter like USP Chapters 795 and 797, but will be wider in scope than other compounding chapters as it applies to both sterile and nonsterile compounding. Attend this training to learn how to overcome the problem caused by HD.
