title: [Training of pharmacy personnel in the management of a centralized unit: the Oncolor network experience].
abstract: The network of cancer care units in Lorraine area (Oncolor) developed management training for people working in chemotherapy units, and cytotoxic drug preparation. The programme was framed both for staff of executives (pharmacists), and technicians. Firstly, comparison between practices and theoretical recommendations lead to the elaboration of standardized operating procedures. Secondly, we elaborated a specific handbook for this education programme. A series of four-days independent sessions were organized for pharmacists and technicians. Each session combined theoretical and technical teaching for preparing antineoplastic drugs. Participants passing a successful final examination received a certificate from the Oncolor's network attesting their capacity to manage a chemotherapy unit. Four sessions were performed, with 35 participants. Only 31 passed at final examination. This preliminary experience will be enlarged to all members of the network and regularly brought up to date.
