USP <800> Training for Proper Handling of Hazardous Drugs
February 4, 2021
Registration fee:  $450

Hazardous drugs (HDs) require safe and responsible handling for you and your team, whether medical, nursing, or pharmacy.  USP <800> standards provide oversight guidance on best practices for compounding HDs.  This program reviews current and proposed regulations and recommends best practices concerning all aspects of handling HDs.

This one-day workshop will include:

• understanding quality systems, process flow and risk assessment;
• preparing for inspection readiness, and;
• provide practical application including hands-on skills development and implementation of best practices when compounding sterile and nonsterile HDs.
  

This activity is planned with the assumption that mass gatherings will be permitted by the activity date, with social distancing requirements and rigorous cleaning procedures needing to be followed. The number of available seats will be limited to ensure social distancing can be maintained during the activity. If possible, a live stream option will be provided to allow learners to receive the educational content without attending the activity in-person.

We will continue to monitor guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). Adjustments to the number of seats available may be made to accommodate more or less attendees per guidelines to ensure the activity is held in a safe and responsible manner. Updates will be posted as available.
