What to expect
Gynaecological cancers are complex, diverse and deeply personal — and delivering excellent care requires a clear understanding of pathways, treatment options and the lived experience of patients.
This one-day study day offers an in-depth introduction to ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancers, exploring how these diseases develop, how they are diagnosed and how treatment decisions are made. You’ll hear from Christie experts working across surgery, systemic therapies, radiotherapy and specialist nursing, who will share both the science and the real-world context behind modern gynaecological cancer care.
As well as gaining insight into innovative and emerging treatments, you’ll explore the full patient journey — from first presentation to treatment, survivorship and beyond. The day also offers an excellent opportunity to network with colleagues from across the region who are passionate about improving gynaecological cancer outcomes.
The full programme will also be available on demand for six months, giving you the flexibility to revisit sessions or access content at your own pace.
