Nursing conference 2024

About

Our brand-new nursing conference, the first in a new series of events for healthcare professionals was successfully held on 19 June 2024 at the British Medical Association (BMA) House. The conference was attended by over 150  delegates and pharmaceutical and charity partners.

The conference aimed to provide breast care nurses and nurses working with breast cancer patients the opportunity to hear about some of the most exciting clinical developments in primary and secondary breast cancer. It was also our chance to show our support and thanks to the nursing members of our healthcare professional hub.
