 Rapid Learn + Listen package
Hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis
Learn
Some anti-cancer drugs are known for their potential to cause infusion reactions. Allergic infusion reactions, such as hypersensitivity, can lead to anaphylaxis which may present with symptoms including cyanosis and loss of consciousness. Anaphylaxis is considered an oncological emergency and can be life-threatening.
The 5-minute mini-module will help you:
- recognise the signs and symptoms of infusion reactions, hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis
- assess the severity of the reaction
- initiate the right interventions and escalate care appropriately.

"Only a handful have been really severe or anaphylactic. And this was one of the more severe reactions that just didn't go quite as expected."
Kirsten Thompson, National Management Consultant, NT Health.
In this Rapid Listening episode, we hear from Kirsten Thompson, National Management Consultant from NT Health, who shares her experience with a patient having a hypersensitivity reaction.

Extravasation: Updated resources + webinar recording
Our extravasation resources have been updated! The clinical content of the course, clinical resources and patient information resources were refreshed to align with new evidence and reflect user feedback.

Our year in review
It will likely come as no surprise we are a team who love data! This year our reflections were pleasantly surprising - we were dominated by producing V4 of ADAC but still managed to deliver a full program of new and updated eLearning resources, webinars, workshops and mini-quizzes!
Our favourite stat is seeing that 143 of you that have participated as members of our clinical advisory committees. This wonderful representation of clinical expertise keeps our resources accurate, appropriate and reflective of the real-world environment and needs of our health professionals. Thank you!
We are always welcoming new members, join the conversation!

We won!
The eviQ Education team are celebrating a clean sweep at LearnX awards last month! We took three from three awards - including the top prize for our CVADs eLearning package in the Health & Safety Training category. The resource also won two Diamond awards for Best eLearning Project (Industry Specific) and Best Learning Model (Blended).
This is the second year in a row the team have celebrated winning entries - and we are very pleased to share the industry recognition with the 30 clinical contributors who supported the development of the resource with their clinical expertise.
COSA + pharmacy workshop
The team debuted their new purple T-shirts at COSA in Brisbane last month! It was a jam-packed program and wonderful to see everyone engaging with the team at the booth.
We also hosted a session at the COSA Cancer Pharmacists Group (CPG) Clinical Development Day and received some fantastic insight and ideas on how to implement the first cancer pharmacy ADAC across Australia, starting with a pilot project next year.
Would you 'like' us on Facebook?
It's survey time again! Last year you told us you wanted more videos, which led to the production of eight videos to complement our CVAD eLearning package - we can't wait to share them with you early next year.
This year the survey is much shorter (around 5 minutes) and features questions around social media - we're keen to hear if you're interested in keeping up to date with new clinical information, resources and events from the eviQ teams as they become available on the channels you're using (such as Facebook).
Please take a moment to give us your feedback so we can best support you in 2023!

ADAC update
Next year will be the year of ADAC! The wonderful new versions will be released in 2023 - with some exciting enhancements - and we really can not wait to finally share it with you!
Kidney dosing has changed
New guidelines have been released by eviQ that represent a significant change to kidney function assessment and dosing recommendations for 59 anticancer drugs.

View the guideline on eviQ.
Rapid learning
Understand the purpose of the ADDIKD guideline, methods of assessing kidney function in cancer patients, why eGFR (via CKD-EPI) is the preferred method of estimating kidney function, and kidney function categories for dosing and monitoring with this mini-module.
