National Training Day

Join us at University College Dublin for a full day of learning, collaboration, and knowledge sharing across Ireland’s oncology community. This year’s National Training Day brings together professionals from Haematology, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Surgery, Translational Research, and Allied Health to explore emerging research, develop practical skills, and reflect on the “hidden curriculum” that shapes clinical and academic careers — including mentorship, self-care, career development, and the evolving role of technologies such as AI within cancer trials and clinical practice.

Trainee Presentations
