As treatments advance and survival rates improve\, the focus is shifting: how do we help patients not just live longer\, but live better? Evidence shows that proactive\, integrative symptom support can improve treatment tolerance\, quality of life\, and potentially outcomes. \nThis isn’t about replacing oncology standards. It’s about enhancing them. From managing treatment side effects to addressing pain\, fatigue\, and psychological distress\, evidence-based symptom support is becoming essential to comprehensive cancer care at every stage of the journey. \nThis conference brings together the latest research\, clinical insights\, and practical frameworks you need to advance symptom support in your practice. Whether you’re an oncologist\, specialist nurse\, allied health professional\, or anyone working in cancer care\, join us to explore how science\, prevention\, and compassionate approaches can improve patient experiences from diagnosis through survivorship. \nKey Takeaways\nIntegrative Cancer Care– Medicinal Mushrooms: Support across the cancer journey with Catalina Fernadez de Ana Portela (Hifas da Terra).– Aromatherapy: Symptom management in oncology with Rhiannon Lewis.– Holistic Support: Care models from The Fountain Centre & Penny Brohn UK. \nAdvances in Integrative Oncology– Homeopathy: Updates from the Society of Integrative Oncology (Delphi Process) with Dr Jean-Lionel Bagot and Prof Massimo Bonucci.– Nutrition: Bridging dietetics and oncology with Kirsten Chick and Meredy Birdi. \nIntegrative Therapies– Mistletoe Therapy: Symptom support with Dr Simon van Lieshout.– Fasting & Cancer: Latest research from Prof Valter Longo (TBC). \nNetworking- Connect with global experts and share best practices in integrative oncology. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n For me as an experienced pharmacist it [The NCIM Summer Conference] was a fantastic day of inspiring presentations\, discussions and networking.
