Courses and Conferences

"Cancer Care 09 promises to be a premier event for health care professionals and program planners in Alberta and Western Canada. Speakers will focus on innovation in patient care, current trends in cancer treatments, research and supportive care. Strategies for creating supportive environments to enhance the wellness of care providers will also be discussed. Delegates will have many opportunities for networking and inforamtion exchange. Building on the many successes of our past events, we are excited to present a program that includes pre-conference workshops for ancillary community support service providers, including some interdisciplinary and some discipline-specific sessions; a day and a half of interdisciplinary plenary and concurrent sessions for community health professionals; and an evening and full day of learning for family physicians and oncologists."Western Nova Scotia is delighted to be hosting the 2009 NSHPCA Annual Meeting and Conference!
