UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT?
This FREE conference is for YOU – BOOK NOW !!
"Living with Cancer and Beyond" Patient Conference
The NEXT PATIENT CONFERENCE will be held via Zoom on Tuesday 16th November 2021
We hold two conferences a year for patients, their families and friends. These are free to attend and designed to empower you with appropriate information in the world of cancer.
Our aim is to keep you up to date with information on cancer research, knowledge and care, emotional well-being, diet and exercise. All talks are delivered by experts in their fields. They are interactive and relaxed with plenty of opportunities to share your experiences with people who understand.
The conferences are usually held in the Cromwell Suite at Huntingdon Race Course but during COVID we have been holding them on the Zoom platform. Please contact us if you feel unsure about the use of this technology as we can help!
