Events

The Frontline Defences Webinar Series is a continuing professional development (CPD) programme for healthcare professionals, including pharmacists, physicians, nurses, community health workers, and public health practitioners. It addresses the growing threat of unsafe medicines—substandard, falsified, and unregistered products—which undermine treatment outcomes, drive antimicrobial resistance, and erode trust in healthcare systems across Africa.

Events

ISOPP is collaborating with The Children and Young People's Cancer Association (CCLG) in a webinar about drug quality. The webinar will include some work from the ISOPP Quality and Equity in Cancer Care Task Force.

Events

The ISOPP International Symposium 2026 was a truly outstanding and memorable event, bringing together oncology pharmacy professionals from across the globe in a vibrant 24-hour virtual celebration.
