Join us this week for the Brisbane Cancer Conference. Co-ordinated by Professor Ken O’Byrne, the 2015 Brisbane Cancer Conference will be held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre in South Brisbane, on the 17th and 18th December 2015.
With the establishment of the Brisbane Diamantina Health Partners, this meeting is an opportunity to draw together cancer researchers in Brisbane and Queensland to advance collaborative efforts in cancer research. The meeting comprises plenary lectures and workshops on recent scientific, technological, nursing and medical advances in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease.
On Thursday 17th December there will be 3 satellite symposia in the morning followed by plenary lectures from 2 – 4pm and subsequently workshops in these areas running from 4:30 – 6:30pm. This will be followed by a “Welcome Reception”, with food, drink and entertainment and a chance to socialise with colleagues particularly from other institutions in the city and from Queensland.
The all-day meeting on 18th December will include plenary lectures followed by tumour-site specific workshops in the morning and afternoon. A key session will be lectures by Brisbane oncology researchers that have contributed to global advances in our understanding of the epidemiology, molecular biology and treatment of malignant disease including supportive care.
Datapharm Australia’s Clinical Projects Manager, Luke Edington, will be sharing his experiences around clinical trials and his perspective of the challenges of raising clinical trial awareness through traditional methods and more modern approaches. Luke will be joining numerous other speakers, and the sessions are set to be really interesting.
Luke’s Topic: “Raising awareness of clinical trials”
Thursday 17th December 2015 from 4.30pm – 6.30pm.
A major challenge for clinical trials generally, and also specifically for individual projects, is raising awareness not only in the public domain but also within the healthcare sector. Luke will discuss these challenges and how better awareness can be achieved.
