6th to 8th October 2023 - 26th Annual Symposium

2023 BOPA Symposium

The 26th BOPA Annual Symposium in 2023 will be held in Wales on 6th to 8th October.

Oncology and haematology are ever-changing landscapes and this year we are looking to the future. The conference will include an exciting variety of specialist panel discussions, core clinical updated and specific research-focused streams. We are running a tiered system with sessions for everyone; from new to oncology pharmacists to advanced practitioners.

We recognise that NHS budgets are tighter than ever, so the committee have worked hard to give BOPA members a reduced conference fee of £260 (including VAT) if booked by the 11th September. As usual we have preferential rates at hotels nearby, but there are plenty of other options if you want to independently find accommodation.

"#BOPA2021 was a real boost. Whilst virtual it provided a great opportunity to catch up with colleagues in other centres, albeit virtually, share the challenges and reflect on the contributions we've made to move the local services forwards during the pandemic, Looking forwards to a face to face meeting in 2022."
