As acute oncology (AO) reaches its 15th birthday, we are pleased to invite you to a summary of past and current best practice for acute oncology services.
The programme does not only focus on different medical subspecialities, such as cardiac and respiratory AO emergencies, but also discusses common acute oncology problems including spinal cord compression, immunotherapy toxicities and end of life care.
With a wide breadth of subjects, and a strong medical slant, the event is unique in content and format.
By attending, you will:
- Understand the acute oncology service and appreciate its future direction in further improving care
- Be able to investigate and manage common oncological emergencies
- Learn to recognise and understand the management of toxicity-related complications from anti-cancer therapies
- Appreciate the value of involving the wider MDT in specialist care or end of life care
