An innovative one-day event focussing on the developments in the production and use of data for rare and less common cancers.

The event will explore the developments in the production and use of data for rare and less common cancers. Working through the data pathway, leading experts will share insights on data collection processes, how data is used in analysis and research and the improvements it can support for services and patient outcomes. You will hear from a range of speakers from across the cancer data community including charity, clinical and patient representatives.

Throughout the day you will have an opportunity to ask questions and understand more about how cancer data is supporting improvements for people with rare and less common cancers.

This event has a limited number of delegate places and as such registration is restricted to two delegates per organisation.
