In 2025 UKONS will be taking our cancer nursing conference to the well-established ICC in Birmingham for a 20 year celebration of UKONS! Our conference last year at the Manchester Central 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 2025.
UKONS continues to grow our nursing membership across the four nations. The state-of-the-art facility in Birmingham is well placed to allow us to engage with nurses across the four nations by taking advantage of excellent transport links with the rest of the UK.
This year the theme is ‘Celebrating the Inspirational in Cancer Nursing’ 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.
We will keep you posted on the agenda and conference booking.
We look forward to welcoming you all to Birmingham.
