Virtual Meeting on Informed and Shared Decision-Making

We're pleased to invite you to an interactive Virtual Meeting on Informed and Shared Decision-Making, between cancer patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals, in collaboration with the Anticancer Fund and connected to our Inequalities Network. We’ll discuss the importance of well-informed and shared decision-making in oncology and which tools are available to facilitate this. This virtual meeting will also illustrate to key policy- and decision-makers, the value and benefit of reliable information when it comes to taking concrete steps in bettering cancer care.

Perspectives from patients, oncologists and nurses will be featured throughout the debate.

Join our Co-Chairs for this event Kathy Oliver, Co-Chair, ECO Patient Advisory Committee, and Chair & founding Co-Director of the International Brain Tumour Alliance (IBTA), and Guy Buyens, Medical Director, Anticancer Fund - Contributor to ECO's Community 365, on Wednesday 18 January from 16:00-18:00 CET.
