This year’s theme is Nothing About Us Without Us: Putting People at the Heart of Cancer Prevention, Diagnosis, Treatment, Care & Research

On behalf of the Scottish Parliament Cross-Party Group on Cancer we are pleased to invite you to register for the Scottish Cancer Conference 2026.

This year’s conference represents a unique, high-profile gathering of individuals and organisations involved with or affected by cancer, from patients to pharmaceutical companies, clinicians, academics, policy makers, and charities. It presents an unrivalled opportunity to share, learn, network and understand the latest developments in our combined efforts in beating cancer.

We are pleased to announce that this year’s theme will be Nothing About Us Without Us: Putting People at the Heart of Cancer Prevention, Diagnosis, Treatment, Care and Research.

We want to place people affected by cancer — patients, families, carers and communities — at the heart of every conversation. From preventing cancer to improving early detection, delivering timely, kinder and better treatment, supporting people to live well with and beyond cancer, enhancing palliative care and accelerating vital research, the conference will explore how Scotland’s cancer system can be strengthened when it is developed in partnership with those who use it, not just by those who deliver it. By embedding lived experience throughout the day’s sessions and placing patient and public insight on equal footing with professional expertise, the conference aims to reimagine a cancer system that is even more compassionate, collaborative and truly person‑centred.
