Advances in Biotherapies Workshop & ACP Trainees Weekend 2022
Advances in Biotherapies Workshop
Friday 14 October 2022
This workshop on Friday 14th October on Advances in Biotherapies aims to highlight some of the new advances in the rapidly expanding field of biotherapies. This includes immunotherapies and novel indications, cellular therapies and technologies, as well as oncolytic viruses and advances in liquid biopsies. Presentations by leading experts will be facilitated with case-based discussion and interactive panel discussions regarding developments and patients' cancer care. We hope you will find the event highly relevant to current clinical practice in cancer management.

ACP Trainees Weekend 2022
Saturday 15 October - Sunday 16 October 2022
The workshop is followed by the annual ACP trainees’ weekend. It is an opportunity for medical oncology trainees from around the UK to meet and is the only trainee-dedicated event of its kind. We are really pleased to be able to hold this event in a face-to-face format. The educational content includes focussed sessions on genomic testing and practical approach to cancer genomics, sequencing from bench to bedside, targeted therapies and toxicity, as well as dedicated workshop session on sequencing therapies for lung and renal cancers. Additionally, there will be sessions on medical leadership and management and transitioning to consultant, as well as the McElwain and President's Prize presentations. There will be plenty of networking opportunities for trainees from across the UK, and the weekend includes a dinner on the Saturday night. We hope that many trainees are able to join this event, and we particularly welcome the new trainees just embarking on their medical oncology training.
