A report from our CNS team of Specialist Gynae Oncology Nurses.
In July the CNS team, of Gynae Oncology specialist nurses, were fortunate to be able to attend the British Gynaecological Cancer Society (BGCS) annual scientific meeting. The conference was held at Stanford Bridge, the grounds of Chelsea Football Club. It was quite surreal lunching in the terraces…… literally in the terraces! Sadly, there were no private boxes available!
It was actually quite comical seeing many esteemed colleagues across the country with lunch boxes in their laps!
There was a very structured full programme of speakers. Those that were presenting their own research or speaking on treatments such as immunotherapy and PARP inhibitors or presentations on lynch syndrome and diversity. There was also an innovative discussion on pre habilitation.
This report only scratches the surface of a really full day of programme contents. We listened to amazing Doctors and trainees opening even more possibilities in the future for treatment options and results from treatment already being administered with reassuring results.
We were humbled by Professor Leslie Walwyn Associate Dean for Global Health, American University of Antigua College of Medicine. Currently, she leads the Global Health Track (GHT) at the American University of Antigua College of Medicine The GHT’s goal is to enhance awareness about vulnerable populations and produce skilled physicians who will impact communities and organizations globally and improve health outcomes. She among many things passionate about cervical cancer prevention and control.
The CNS team would like to thank COPES for supporting their ongoing professional education.
