Cancer Survivorship Delegate Programme 2017

Welcome
After a very successful 2016
conference in Liverpool, we hope the
Head & Neck Cancer Conference 2017
will be an inspiring and memorable
experience for everyone who attends.
The conference will pose questions about ‘Living with
and beyond cancer’. Inspired by leading national
and international thinkers, it will explore how, by
introducing greater passion and understanding into
the patient’s journey, carers and the people who work
with them will make informed choices, continue
learning and aspire to world-class performance.
We invite
delegates to
‘think differently’
At a time when health professionals are under ever
more severe pressures, the conference will examine
the opportunities for everyone to help improve the Quality of Life. We will explore potential ways
of enabling all of us to think differently about how we learn and what we can achieve.
The programme will deliver an exciting mix of keynote speakers, exhibitions and fringe activities
themed around the strands of ‘Living with and beyond cancer’ and will invite delegates to ‘Think
Differently’ as a result. Speakers will be invited either to build their presentation around this
triple-pronged approach or to concentrate on one aspect. Anecdotal and personal experience
will be encouraged. Wherever possible, speakers have been grouped to explore counter or
complementary positions within a strand to further engage the audience. The participation of
patients and carers in all aspects will form an integral part of the conference.
I would like to thank a truly international line-up of speakers from the USA, Australia and the UK
who are giving up their time to speak at the conference.
We all hope you get involved and enjoy your day. Please use #HNCCONF2017 when posting your
