CCLG Supportive Care Education Day

We are delighted to invite you to save the date for the CCLG Supportive Care Education Day, taking place on Thursday 24 September 2026 at the NCVO, London from 10-4pm.

This study day will bring together multidisciplinary healthcare professionals involved in the care of children and young people with cancer, offering an opportunity to explore the latest advances in supportive care research, share best practice and connect with colleagues from across the UK.

Call for abstracts

We warmly invite submissions showcasing your work in supportive care for children with cancer. This may include:

  • Original research
  • Audit or quality improvement projects conducted locally
  • We are keen to hear about initiatives that reflect and advance supportive care practice.

Supportive care is defined as care that helps the patient and their family cope with their condition and its treatment — from pre-diagnosis, through diagnosis and treatment, to cure, continuing illness or death, and into bereavement. It aims to maximise the benefits of treatment and support children and young people to live as well as possible with the effects of disease.

Why Attend?

The 2026 Supportive Care Education Day will offer:

  • Insights into the latest developments in supportive care research
  • Learn from national leaders and peers delivering supportive care across diverse clinical settings
  • Opportunities for networking, collaboration and shared learning
  • Inspiration to develop new projects and strengthen multidisciplinary working

Feedback from our 2025 study day highlights the value of this event:

“Brilliant overview and really left feeling that I knew what the group was active in. Only downside is that my team have come away with a HUGE list of potential projects to start locally…”
“Very relevant topics and helpful updates.”
“Came away feeling very inspired to get more involved and look at our local practice and what we can improve.”
“Very informative and collaborative environment.”
“A thoroughly valuable day.”

We hope you will join us in London for what promises to be an informative, inspiring and collaborative event.

Further details, including the full programme and abstract submission deadlines, will be shared in due course.
