Free CE Webinar Offered for First-Ever National Safe Handling Awareness Day

April has been designated the first-ever Safe Handling Awareness Month - a national campaign to protect the health and wellbeing of the oncology healthcare professionals who devote their lives to helping others by raising awareness of the risks, guidelines and safety measures associated with handling hazardous drugs.

To enhance this effort, healthcare professionals are invited to participate in a free, one-hour safe handling CE webinar addressing the proper handling of hazardous drugs on April 20, 2009, the inaugural Safe Handling Awareness Day. This program is being supported by an unrestricted educational grant provided by Carmel Pharma, Inc., the official sponsor of Safe Handling Awareness Month and the maker of PhaSeal® - today’s only clinically proven closed-system drug transfer device (CSTD) for the safe preparation, administration and waste disposal of hazardous drugs.

April 20, 2009 - The Inaugural Safe Handling Awareness Day
1:00PM - 2:00PM EST
Archived webinar will also be available on-demand.
