PC4 2026 Scientific Symposium

The PC4 Symposium is the only dedicated opportunity for all primary care cancer researchers, clinicians and community representatives to come together to drive innovation and improvement in this field.

The Symposium will showcase the latest research in primary care and cancer across a range of sub-themes, including the incorporation of cutting-edge technology, optimising the integration and provision of care across primary and tertiary systems, improving psychological and physiological support, and emerging trends in cancer and cancer care.
