Advancing Cancer Care in Alberta: A Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue

Join us for an afternoon bringing oncology, primary care, research and community leaders together to examine how cancer care can reach Albertans sooner and closer to home. The dialogue opens with an overview of the provincial direction for cancer care, followed by a moderated panel that takes up the questions at the heart of the afternoon, drawing on perspectives from across care, research and community. The discussion then opens to the floor, shaped by the people in the room.

What to expect

A clear picture of where cancer care in Alberta is heading and what is already underway.

A moderated panel bringing a range of perspectives to the question of how that direction works in practice.

An open discussion where your experience contributes directly to the conversation, and time set aside for contributions from the floor.

Connection with leaders from across oncology, primary care, government, research and community.
