Event details
The Public Policy Projects Cancer Care conference 2024 will build on last year’s programme as well as looking at some of the emerging policies in cancer care in 2024 especially in light of political changes. We will host five panels that focus on some key aspects of cancer policy, highlight examples of best practice and better understand what strategies can be harnessed and implemented to improve patient outcomes. Throughout the day delegates will have time to network and also learn about how innovation, sometimes through industry partnerships, is impacting cancer care.
Topics to be discussed
- Given our understanding of the risk factors for cancer, how can we address these and work towards prevention of cancer
- How can genomics be harnessed in cancer prevention without creating greater health inequalities?
- How can we work towards earlier diagnosis across cancer types using women’s cancers to explore this
- How can we address the backlogs in cancer pathways (through the lens of prostate cancer)?
- What strategies can be implemented that effectively reduce health inequalities in cancer?
- Given the advances in digital technologies, what are the opportunities for future screening?
- What innovations can be implemented now to speed up diagnostics?
- Can screening become equitable?
