About the event

GatewayC and Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance present The Cancer Forum. This study afternoon will be available via live-stream and face-to-face to support primary care clinicians to hear the latest cancer updates and key information to support early detection in primary care. This forum is part of a shared commitment to improve knowledge of red flag symptoms, increase confidence in knowing when and when not to refer, improve the quality of suspected cancer referrals, and improve patient communication.

Q&A

Will lunch be provided?

Only if you have an in-person ticket. Lunch and refreshments will be provided free of charge to attendees with an in-person ticket only.

Lunch – a two course buffet served mezze style will be served. If you have any special dietary requirements, please contact [email protected] before Monday 31st October.. If the team are notified after this date your requirements may not be catered for.

Do I have to decide now whether I want to attend face-to-face or virtually?

Yes, you will need to select at checkout which option you would prefer. You may be unable to change your mind at a later date.

Will I get the same study day experience if I attend the virtual event only?

The face-to-face event is strongly recommended as this will provide you with a much richer experience and networking opportunities. The live stream is included for those who are unable to travel to the event to ensure as many clinicians as possible across Greater Manchester have the opportunity to participate.

Can I attend both the face-to-face and virtual conference?

No, you will only be able to select one ticket. All registered attendees will have access to the on-demand livestream following the event.

Where can I find further information?

Agenda and a viewing link for live-stream viewers will be distributed in due course.
