Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute is dedicated to keeping patients and their families at the centre of everything that we do.

On October 14th, as part of our 12th International Cancer Conference, we will hold a public symposium. Topics to be covered include the impact of COVID19 on cancer care into the future and Europe’s Beating Cancer plan. In addition, the public symposium will include a session on cancer survivorship and wellbeing with international experts from the University of British Columbia and Imperial College London.

We invite patients, family members, carers, survivors and interested members of the public to come along and hear about current research in these areas. There will be opportunity to meet researchers and chat over coffee.
