The CNSA QLD & NT State Group warmly invite members and non-members to join us for our second flagship educational event of the year. Featuring internationally recognised hazardous drug safety expert Seth Eisenberg, who is travelling from Canada to present, this multi-venue dinner seminar offers a unique opportunity to gain practical clinical insights while connecting with fellow cancer nurses from across Queensland and the Northern Territory.
About the session
The growing use of hazardous drugs across cancer care has increased the need for robust safety practices that protect healthcare workers at every stage of patient care. Join us for an engaging evening as we explore the latest evidence, best practice recommendations, and practical approaches to reducing occupational exposure and promoting safer workplace practices.
This interactive educational session will examine the real risks associated with hazardous drug handling, including acute and long-term exposure, environmental contamination, and workplace practices that can increase risk. Seth will explore the critical role of Closed System Transfer Devices (CSTDs), the latest national and international guidance, and how engineering controls, personal protective equipment (PPE), and safe workflows work together to create safer practice environments.
The session will also address the unique challenges of caring for patients receiving hazardous drugs in community and Hospital in the Home (HITH) settings, using practical case studies and real-world examples to support nurses working beyond the traditional hospital environment.
Whether you work in medical oncology, haematology, day oncology, or community cancer care, this seminar will provide valuable, evidence-based insights to strengthen your practice, enhance workplace safety, and build confidence when handling hazardous drugs. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from an international expert, exchange experiences with colleagues, and stay up to date with the evolving standards shaping safe cancer care.
