Friday evening at #BOPA2026 is poster night. This year is another record breaking year for posters. I'll be sharing some thoughts on that later. But for now - here is my poster.

A different layout of conference room from usual. Thinner but much longer room. I think busier than usual for a 10:20am start too - #BOPA2026 @bopa.org.uk
Now folks... You know the rules. If you don't want me at the microphone for questions you better ask some yourselves

We use template letters. How do we check the letter contains what Connor needs ?

Presenting my work on real-world outcomes for patients with mHSPC treated with enzalutamide at #BOPA2026 this year.
If you've ever had doubts about the effect on outcomes of dose reducing, hopefully this will help to reassure! Patients on dose reductions did at least as well as those without.

Just wrote a thread of the first 3 #BOPA2026 Oral Abstract presentations.
Phone switched its self off and on.
I will catch up.
But just to say so far -- the quality of slides and 🗣️ has been bang on.

As the NHS enters yet another restructure, are we about to lose a bunch of national work because NHSE won't exist.
So we will end up with local projects that never scale up.
There is no plan

- improve safety
- improve patient experience
- balance the books
Just because the hospital down the road does it doesn't mean you'll get a case approved

Some initial thoughts on posters from #BOPA2026.
1️⃣ The visuals on some of the posters have absolutely moved on from 10 years ago. I assume AI (LLM's) are part of that. But excellent to see some high quality postering and less of the 3D Excel Chart copied into a word document and stretched

Dare I ask if there is protected funding in secondary care. Should the Q have been sector agnostic?
Most of us were disappointed that the Cancer plan didn't recognise the increased pressure caused by the numerous new approvals.
There is no measure of delivery of any of this.

Frustrated that perhaps 23 years ago, I could have heard almost the same words from the top. Perhaps less so the community pharmacy but everything else were the same words
I'm already worried about capacity for oral SACT dispensing while everyone is still stuck on aseptics #BOPA2026

As with my #AI 🧵from #BOPA2026 there is a Real World Outcomes #RWO/#RWE theme running through some posters. I notice people don't know where to put these - are they audit (but against what standard?), are they research (but are the results generalisable?) or should they have their own category?
October 2, 2026 at 4:35 PM
Should research be done on weekends?
My view has always been that research is enjoyable. That's why it's the bit I might leave to a weekend.

But am I wrong to think being a pharmacist might not be a 37.5h job? It's a career

Now I'm normally no fan of early access schemes. But if one was ever needed (preferably an EAMS or does Project Or is still exist?) it would be for daraxonrasib in pancreatic
Do we know why not?

The #BOPA2026 posters are not short of #AI studies. Now we can argue for or against the use of #ArtificialIntelligence in these settings but there are some eye catching time savings for the use of these #LLM's so it's no surprise people are keen to see what they can deliver.

Excellent question from Helen about EPS of medicines from secondary care.
But -
1. We need that to work for low risk SACT (cdk46 etc)
2. We need chief pharmacist to not freek out about the costs
EPS needs to be in SACT prescribing systems folks!!

Quienes practican el vudú prefieren que no se la considere una religión sino una ciencia. Tampoco les gusta que se relacione el vudú con la magia, porque es real, o que se diga que para practicarlo es necesario entrar en trance, porque el vudú es trance.
