Taking place on Saturday 15th May, there’s a new online conference for healthcare professionals looking to learn more about the benefits of an evidence based integrative approach to cancer care to optimise health, quality of life and clinical outcomes.
The conference will highlight the benefits of integrating conventional cancer treatments alongside evidence-informed psychological, nutritional, lifestyle and complementary strategies. Organised in association with the British Society for Integrative Oncology.
The event aims to provide delegates with practical take-home advice to help patients reduce side effects from treatments; offer better functional outcomes after cancer surgery and other oncological treatments; minimise emotional stress and optimise physical and mental wellbeing and empower patients to become active participants in managing their health and wellbeing.
Register from £60 – including recordings, so you can catch up after the event. Cancer Care Map providers can receive a 10% discount off the standard rate, using the promotional code: CCMAP-10

With research showing that more than 90% of people living with illness want to be connected with like-minded patients, the team at Yara are building an innovative mobile app where like-minded patients can come together in to exchange knowledge and share experiences.

Bowel cancer (sometimes referred to as colorectal cancer) is the 4th most common cancer in the UK with over 40,000 people diagnosed each year. Almost 9 in 10 people that receive a bowel cancer diagnosis are over 60 but survival rates are significantly higher if diagnosis is found in the early stages. April sees us recognise Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, so we've taken a look at some of the great support services available in the UK.
