Members' Day

Ovacome, the ovarian cancer support charity, will be hosting a free Members' Day in London for anyone who has been affected by ovarian cancer. Family, friends and healthcare professionals are also welcome to attend. 

Join us on Saturday 18 May. This will be a full day event with a programme of clinical talks. You are welcome to join us for as much of the day as you like. A light breakfast, lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Members' Day is a clinical updates day. All four speakers will be specialists in treating or supporting those diagnosed with ovarian cancer. More details about the talks will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Meet our speakers:

• Dr Rowan Miller, consultant medical oncologist specialising in gynae-oncology and early phase clinical trials at University College London and St Bartholomew's Hospitals, will be providing a talk titled 'General updates in ovarian cancer'. This will cover current developments in initial treatments, maintenance treatments and an overview of changes in rarer ovarian cancers.

• Dr Flynn is a Medical Oncology Consultant working in Gynaecological cancer and Early Phase Trials at University College London Hospital (UCLH). He is a Principal Investigator on Gynae-specific and tumour-agnostic targeted therapy, immunotherapy and combination trials.

• Dr Cathy Hughes, gynae-oncology CNS at Imperial College London. Cathy was one of the first specialist nurses in gynaecological cancer in the UK and is the Chair of Ovacome's Board of Trustees.

• Sarah Russell is a clinical exercise and Pilates specialist for people with cancer. 

Attendance is for members only. If you would like to become a member, please fill in our membership form here.
