2023 Head & Neck Cancer Conference Guide Book
2023 HEADLINE SPONSORS We will explore potential ways of enabling all of us to think differently about how we learn and what we can achieve. The programme will deliver an exciting mix of keynote speakers and panel discussions, exhibitions themed around the strands of 'Living With and Beyond Cancer’ and will invite delegates to 'Think Differently' as a result. WELCOME After a very successful 2022 conference, at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, this year we are very pleased to be in the English Riviera. We anticipate that the Head & Neck Cancer Conference 2023 will be an inspiring and memorable experience for everyone who attends. The conference will pose questions about ‘Living With and Beyond Cancer’. Inspired by leading national and international thinkers, the conference will explore how, by introducing greater passion and understanding into the patient’s journey, caregivers and the people who work with them will make informed choices, continue learning and aspire to worldclass performance. This year we are proud to thank a truly international line-up of speakers who give up their time to speak at the conference. We will welcome two celebrities: Tommy Walsh, H&N cancer survivor and TV Celebrity, and Michael Caines, TV chef. At a time when health professionals are under ever more severe pressures, the conference will examine the opportunities for everyone involved to help improve the Quality of Life. Speakers and panels will be invited to build their presentation around this triple-pronged approach or to concentrate on one aspect. Anecdotal and personal experience will be encouraged. Wherever possible, speakers have been grouped to explore counter or complementary positions within a strand to further engage the audience. The participation of patients and caregivers in all aspects will form an integral part of the conference. We all hope you get involved and enjoy the experience.
