The Public Health Forum for Cancer Networks and PCTS held a workshop on the topic of cancer prevention on 30 September 2010. This is the fourth workshop held by the Forum and it was attended by around 40 public health and clinical professionals. We are pleased to make the presentations available as pdf documents below.

Further workshops will be planned for 2011. Please contact Dr Elizabeth Davies Medical Director of the Registry Elizabeth.Davies@kcl.ac.uk by the end of October if you have suggestions for topics that might be covered and presentations you or colleagues would like to share with colleagues.

Please contact Joan Laws Joan.Laws@kcl.ac.uk if you would like to be added to the mailing list for future events. These workshops are free but advance registration is essential.
