Cancer pain management for community teams

Join us for a hybrid event providing an up-to-date view on current best practice in the cancer pain field.

Advances in cancer treatments mean that more people are living longer, even with incurable disease. This has uncovered a need to review our approach to cancer pain management, ensuring that care is more personalised, and consistent with stage of disease. This course brings together expertise in the cancer pain field to provide an up to date view on current best practice.
