This ‘Cancer Speed Dating Masterclass’ is following on from the excellent feedback from attendees who attended the last event in 2019.  It is an exciting approach that is interactive, varied and provides a great opportunity for collaborative working across primary and secondary care to ensure Cancer Patients receive the diagnostic, treatment, and care they need, in the right place, at the right time.

 

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

Buffet lunch & visiting stands

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.
