Do you want to learn more about clinical trials – and have a free lunch while you do?
A friendly and informal event is being held next week to give people more information about cancer research and clinical trials – and why they are so important for cancer patients.
You can hear from cancer doctors and scientists and chat to them about the amazing breakthroughs in cancer treatment and care. Everyone is welcome, whether you have been directly affected by cancer or not.
The event is on Monday, April 22nd, 2024, 11am to 3pm at The Florrie, 377 Mill Street, Liverpool L8 4RF.
Please register in advance by emailing livecmc@liverpool.ac.uk or texting 07341 796 000.
The event is organised by Liverpool ECMC, a partnership between the University of Liverpool and The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre.
