UK Conference Sept 2023
Our second national UK patient conference was held in September 2023 at the Radisson RED Hotel in London.
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.
