In 2024 UKONS will be taking our cancer nursing conference to the well-established Manchester Conference centre. Our conference last year at the ICC Wales proved to be our biggest and best conference to date, with more attendees and exhibitors than ever before and we anticipate building on this success with another excellent conference in 2024.
UKONS continues to grow our nursing membership across the four nations. The state-of-the-art facilities In Manchester will allow us to engage with across those four nations by taking advantage of the excellent transport links with the rest of the UK.
This year the theme is ‘Working towards positive change in cancer care’ and this will allow the clinical and academic programme to explore a wide range of subjects. These include nurse education and workforce issues and promoting the delivery of the best cancer patient care across a wide range of settings.
