National Conference
Information for HCPs
We held our first national weekend conference in Birmingham in 2022 and it was attended by 100 delegates (patients and family members). 140 delegates attended the 2023 conference in London and a similar number attended in 2024, also in London.

We are returning to London in 2025 and we are making a limited number of places available to lung cancer nurse specialists.
The cost of the conference for patients and their families is sponsored, to a large part, by pharmaceutical companies but this does not extend to HCPs. However, we are offering HCPs a heavily discounted rate of £150 fully residential or £50 day delegate Saturday and Sunday.
The conference starts with dinner on Friday evening followed by an opening address by Professor Sanja Popat, medical oncologist at The Royal Marsden Hospital and Honorary Clinic Advisor to the charity. It closes after lunch on Sunday.
One of the benefits of the conference is that it provides an opportunity for patients and their families to exchange experiences and we ask that HCPs participate in these exchanges.
