14:00-14:30 Registration with buffet
This event is designed towards fulfilling the requirements of early cancer diagnosis in the Network Contract DES commencing April 2025.
This ‘Cancer Speed Dating Masterclass’ has received excellent feedback from attendees who have attended the events in previous years and asked for it to continue. We invite clinicians to attend and encourage colleagues to participate in this interactive session which offers an opportunity for collaborative working and shared understanding of cancer pathways across primary and secondary care. This is to ensure cancer patients receive the diagnostic, treatment, and care they need, in the right place, at the right time.
The session will start promptly at 14:30 with 6-10 Primary Care Clinicians sitting at a table and 1-2 Consultants from each cancer speciality who will rotate across all tables for an interactive discussion allowing all clinicians who make referrals for suspected cancer to ask questions and consultants to air issues.
We hope this will be a pleasant social event, educational and foster a better understanding of the challenges facing both primary and secondary care. There will be no lecture presentation.
What’s in it for you?
- You and your colleagues will have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss case studies in a less formal setting.
- A chance to share those troublesome case studies directly with consultants
Building close working relationship between Primary Care and Secondary Care consultants
The event will be free, but we would like to point out that it is funded by the East of England Cancer Alliance and should people sign up to attend, and not attend then we will still be charged for food and the money wasted.
