Macmillan Professionals Conference
Macmillan Professionals from across the UK come together to network, learn and share best practice at our annual two-day Macmillan Professionals Conference.
About the conference
The Macmillan Professionals Conference provides a unique opportunity for Macmillan to reach, inspire and engage Healthcare Professionals at a national level, bringing the community of Macmillan Professionals together to network, learn and share best practice. Delegates from across the UK can build their own agenda of inspiring plenary sessions and workshops, explore a curated exhibition, and engage with posters presented by their peers.
