UK Conference Sept 2022

Our first national UK patient conference was held in September 2022 at the Strathallan Hotel in Birmingham.

Be empowered with ALK+ lung cancer information you can rely on 

The Charity arranges a weekend conference each September for patients plus one where they hear from leading ALK+ experts and question them. Ample time is provided for delegates to socialise and exchange experiences.  The conferences are subsidised by pharmaceutical companies and are free to delegates. Traveling expenses are reimbursed.
