2nd European Cancer Patie...( People with cancer doctors and politic...)

2nd European Cancer Patient Seminar

People with cancer, doctors and politicians are joining forces in Edinburgh on June 20 and 21 to improve the care of patients with cancer. At a special seminar organised by the European Society for Medical Oncology, patients and oncologists will aim to create a genuine patient-physician partnership that spans Europe.

Supported by various European cancer groups, the seminar will reflect the true spirit of partnership:

Patients have collaborated with oncologists in planning an extremely interesting programme,

Lectures will be given by both patients and physicians,

Patients and oncologists will meet for an interactive joint session, where both sides will express and explain their positions on current issues in oncology.

Cancer patients and their carers are invited to join us. You can tell us what patients and their families want from their ideal cancer doctor. Doctors will tell you what they expect from patients. Together we can discuss what can be done to improve communication - and ultimately improve healthcare services for cancer patients.
