ACP Trainees Meeting 2024
Thursday 21 November – Friday 22 November 2024
We are delighted to invite you to this year's ACP trainee meeting. This year's meeting has the theme of "Precision Oncology".
Cancer treatment is becoming increasingly tailored to the individual patient, with an ever increasing number of targeted therapies. Our programme will explore the role of molecularly targeted therapies and individually tailored treatments in a variety of tumour sites. In addition, we will be hearing about the future of Precision Oncology and personalised treatment in the form of cancer vaccines, ctDNA guided therapy, whole genome sequencing and cellular therapies. We have a range of speakers from across the UK, all of whom are experts in their fields, and we believe that this will be an incredibly interesting and educational meeting.
For the first time for an ACP trainee meeting, we have had to include a small fee for attendance. Although we are grateful to our sponsors for their generous support, the costs of running these events are considerable, and we are no longer able to hold the meeting without asking for a contribution from attendees. However, we believe that this cost still represents good value for money and is still below that charged for similar events by other organisations.
