International Head & Neck Cancer Conference 2022

About
7th year of the Conference it will be an inspiring and memorable experience for everyone who attends. We aim to bring a mix of laughter and inspirational stories to encourage the audience to think differently. It will be a great conference in a great historic city of Sunderland.
Over three inspirational days, whether those attending are health professionals, patients, caregivers, survivors, sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, and organisers, they will gain a greater awareness of ways to improve the journey of the patient and caregiver.
The conference will challenge everyone to think differently on how to improve the quality of life from diagnoses to survivorship and beyond.
Remember “Survivorship is not Survivorship without Quality of Life”
Hearing from Inspirational Speakers, from United States of America, Australia, Spain, and the UK. Whether they are Cancer Survivors or World-Renowned Health Professionals all will be sharing their Head & Neck cancer journey.
Enhancing knowledge, learning from a room full of people, whether patients, caregivers, or health professionals, who are passionate about making a difference and improving the Head & Neck Cancer journey... there really would be something for everyone!
Facilitating the making of connections, networking activities provide the perfect opportunity for everyone to meet both friends old and new, strengthen existing relationships and catch up with like-minded people in a relaxed environment. For health professional organisations connecting and renewing acquaintances may also offer potential commercial opportunities.
Sharing ideas, discussion forums together with patients, carers, health professionals and companies in a unique environment, allowing all to share their own journey and see it within a broader context. The whole conference will provide all attending with opportunities to step beyond their own experiences and, for organisations, offer continued professional development.
