Successful New Consultants Group Meeting
We had another excellent annual meeting in Birmingham this weekend. The programme included MP Sarah Wollaston talking about the NHS Reforms, talks on Acute Oncology and the roles of Oncology Nurses. The after dinner speaker was Prof Gordon McVie talking about the history of Medical Oncology in the UK. The meeting closed with a lively debate between Prof Karol Sikora and Dr Clive Peedell (read his blog here) on the merits or otherwise of independent sector provision of NHS services. We will post some of the slides here soon. Many thanks to the organising team and speakers, and to Lilly Oncology for sponsorship.
Read on for a report by Dr Richard Baird, one of the organisers, who chaired the meeting...
Regimen-Specific Consent Forms
One of the initiatives under development by the ACP is National Oncology-Treatment Consent Forms. The sort of thing under consideration has already been implemented in the South East London Cancer Network. Take a look here in the Chemotherapy section.
Medical Oncology Trainee Survey 2011
Last year the ACP trainee representatives organised a survey of colleagues to gain an impression of their educational and research experiences nationwide. It appears that trainees feel generally well supported, but time pressures and service commitments can overtake important educational activities. You can download a copy of the comprehensive report here. The survey will be repeated in 2013.
