Ovacome clinical update day 18 May 2024 London

[OvacomeSupport]

Hello All

You are warmly invited to join us for our annual clinical update day on Saturday 18 May from 9:30am to 4:30pm. This event is for anyone affected by ovarian cancer including family and friends and is being held at the Ovacome office in London.

The day will be a combination of talks from clinicians in the field of gynae-oncology, a gentle exercise session with Sarah Russell (clinical exercise and pilates specialist for people living with cancer) and a chance to connect with other members and Ovacome staff.

Our speakers will be:

Dr Rowan Miller, consultant medical oncologist specialising in gynae-oncology and early phase clinical trials at University College London and St Bartholomew's Hospitals, will be providing a talk titled 'General updates in ovarian cancer'.

Dr Michael Flynn, Medical Oncology Consultant working in Gynaecological cancer and Early Phase Trials at University College London Hospital (UCLH), will give a talk on 'New developments in ovarian cancer'.

Dr Cathy Hughes is currently working at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, home to the West London Gynaecological Cancer Centre, as one of the Divisional Directors of Nursing. Cathy will talk about some of the concepts and changes in the way that people with cancer are managed and supported before and during treatments to optimise health in her talk titled 'Enhanced recovery and prehabilitation'.

Sarah Russell, clinical exercise and Pilates specialist for people with cancer, will speak about 'Rethinking post-operative advice on lifting and strength exercises - busting the 'don't lift anything heavy' myth'.

Attendance is for Ovacome members only. If you would like to become a member, please fill in our membership form here: ovacome.org.uk/membership-b... Membership is free.

The Members' Day talks will not be recorded or streamed, so if you would like to watch these you will need to attend the event in person.

A light breakfast, lunch and refreshments will be provided. We are also able to assist with travel and/or accommodation costs.
