Virtual Coffee with the Board November 2025

The Canadian Association of Pharmacy in Oncology’s (CAPhO) third Virtual Coffee with the Board took place on Wednesday, November 26, 2025 via Zoom.  The get together provided members with an opportunity to engage and connect directly with CAPhO’s leadership in a casual, discussion-based setting. Directors took turns highlighting recently completed and planned CAPhO initiatives and then responded to questions.

To better facilitate open dialogue, the session was not recorded; however, below is a summary of the information shared and a link to the presentation slides.

 

Advocacy Committee Chair and Past President Jason Wentzell shared the key takeaways from CAPhO’s inaugural Leadership Summit, which took place November 7 and 8, 2025 in Toronto.  The Summit provided direction for CAPhO’s advocacy efforts in leveraging CAPhO Competencies & Ambulatory Oncology Clinical Pharmacy Key Performance Indicators (AOcpKPIs) and gathering information on how CAPhO Competencies & AOcpKPIs can be used across the country.

 

 

Education Advanced Committee Chair and cpKPI Knowledge Mobilization Task Force Co-Chair Tom McFarlane confirmed the value of the Summit participants’ feedback, which is being used to inform the finalization of the AOcpKPI Knowledge Translation Guide.  The Task Force's goal is to have the resource published by CAPhO Conference 2026 in April for dissemination nationally.

 

 

Vice President Nikki Blosser shared the progress being made on CAPhO's Strategic Plan Objectives.  She reported on the status of each, confirmed initiatives are on track and showcased recent achievements across the strategic priorities of member communications and engagement, education, advocacy, research, and organisational excellence.

 

 

 

CAPhO President Michelle Koberinski introduced the formalised Member Concern Resolution Process, outlining clear steps from online submission and initial review through Board consideration, decision, and follow up. She advised that the structured approach ensures timely and transparent handling of member concerns and is designed to ensure CAPhO fosters trust and member satisfaction.

 

 

To conclude, CAPhO’s upcoming events and offerings were reviewed, and participants were invited to ask questions.

Virtual Coffees with the Board are held quarterly, with the next event planned for the first quarter of 2026.
