Wessex Cancer Alliance Primary Care Conference for Hampshire & Isle of Wight, in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support

On Tuesday 28, November 2023 Wessex Cancer Alliance and Macmillan held a primary care and cancer event in Southampton. The event brought together a range of primary care professionals, both clinical and non-clinical, to share innovation and good practice around earlier cancer diagnosis and personalised care. The day also provided an opportunity to network with colleagues and to showcase some of the national and local resources available to support health care professionals and people affected by cancer.

We made a short video (4 minutes) to give you a flavour of the day, which you can watch below. The presentations from the event can be found at the bottom of this page.
