CAPhO 2026 AI Utilization in Healthcare: A Cancer Pharmacy Perspective

Plenary session

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already reshaping cancer services—improving diagnostics, streamlining oncology pharmacy workflows, and enabling safer, more personalised systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT). This session reviews practical AI use cases relevant to cancer pharmacists, including workflow optimisation, aseptic preparation technologies, AI-assisted prescription verification and risk stratification, and toxicity prediction. Using NHS and international examples plus the BOPA AI Specialist Advisory Group priorities, we’ll explore benefits, limitations, governance, and how pharmacists can lead safe, ethical adoption in real-world practice.
