Summers drawing to an end

Published on 07 September 2016 back to previous

The summer holidays are over and we hope that you have all been able to enjoy some lovely warm days wherever in the world you happen to be!!!!

Going back to work feels like the first day back at school and EuropaColon has a really busy schedule for the next 3 months!

It actually started at the end of August with a meeting in Brussels organized by ECCO OncoPolicy to discuss the final stages of a report on the Essential Requirements of CRC Treatment and Care, due for publication later this year. It carries on at a quickened pace during September when we will be attending the CanCon meeting in Rome 15/16th and also the ESSO meeting in Cracow on the same days, fortunately not the same person.

This will be the first meeting of the new ESSO Patient Advisory Board meeting and our CEO will report on this on her return. On the 21st Geoffrey Henning attends a quarterly meeting of the EFPIA ThinkTank meeting in Brussels. Whilst the end of the month brings an important CRC experts meeting organised by EuropaColon in association with the Joint Research Council (JRC).

We look forward to exchanging views and seeing how some of the gaps in CRC diagnosis, treatment and care can be addressed…. watch this space for news!!!
