Description: Join the RSM for a one-day, virtual meeting exploring how cancer diagnosed during pregnancy, postnatally or around pregnancy loss affects patients, families and healthcare professionals. This event is delivered in collaboration with Mummy’s Star and the Maternity and Newborn Forum online.
The programme recognises the significant emotional impact that cancer in and around pregnancy has not only on patients and families, but also on the healthcare professionals supporting them through diagnosis, treatment, loss and recovery. Sessions will be underpinned by the latest international FIGO guidance on cancer and pregnancy, supporting clinicians to align practice with current evidence and standards of care.
Aims of the meeting:
- To broaden awareness and understanding of cancer in and around pregnancy across healthcare professions
- To improve recognition of symptoms, referral pathways and coordinated care models, including the role of Maternal Medicine Networks
- To support healthcare professionals in delivering compassionate, informed care that maintains patient choice and family-centred decision-making
