The 2015 Patient Seminar boasted another exciting program with notable speakers and relevant for gynae cancer advocacy patient groups, cancer leagues and other groups with an interest in gynae cancer. The morning program focused on trends & hot topics in research, the status of prevention & screening in Europe and the latest in innovations & treatment options.

Our best practices marketplace sessions in the afternoon, included social media sessions for both beginners & advanced users. Unique to the seminar was the special session about Cancer in the workplace, which raised the question if employment discrimination laws protected employees with cancer. A patient’s first-hand experience was heard including what the current European landscape looked like concerning this issue. Last but not least, the final session will focus on ‘Advocacy in Action’ with a diverse panel of speakers addressing how advocacy influences health policy in Europe.
