This National Conference takes a practical approach to improving practice and outcomes for those living with and beyond cancer, moving from surviving to thriving. Through national updates and practical case studies the conference aims to support you to deliver on the priorities outlined by NHS England and develop effective personalised support and services. The conference will also reflect on the impact of Covid-19 on Cancer Survivorship services and explore how we meet the unmet needs of people living with and beyond cancer. The conference will discuss risk stratified follow up pathways and the commissioning of holistic packages of support, and ensuring every person with cancer will have access to relevant elements of a personalised care approach.

“More people than ever are living with and beyond cancer. The NHS is leading the way in cancer care by recognising that living a good quality of life is as important to people as survival.”

NHS England 2020

Delegate Feedback

“Lots of ideas to take away, feel enthused and motivated.”

“I hope to take some of the information that I have learnt today and use it in my practice. I will definitely try to encourage and direct more patients towards prehab and rehab. We currently place more emphasis on surgical patients but after listening to some of the speakers today I can see the benefits for those patient who are about to embark on a course of chemo/radiotherapy too.”

“I am trying to set up a service and further develop the one my trust has, so the day has been very beneficial and informative for me.”
