Course objectives:
Cure rates for cancer are increasing, especially with the advent of multimodality therapy. Despite positive trends in survivorship patients report that health services seem ill equipped to identify long term consequences of radiotherapy and provide few resources for multidisciplinary management of late effects. Survivors represent now a substantive population of cancer patients and are often managed long term in primary care as well as being monitored in oncology settings by both clinical oncologists and specialist nurses. Although late effects are reported as relatively rare, known under reporting and increasing use of multi modality therapy has increased the prevalence of late effects. This means that all healthcare professionals should be aware of radiotherapy late toxicities and be able to manage early symptoms and refer appropriately.
The meeting also aims to raise awareness of the extent and prevalence of radiotherapy late effects, identify key toxicities and assessment strategies and explore late effect management and best practice approaches to care.

Course objectives:
Now firmly established as the MUST ATTEND event for GPs and practice team colleagues, the conference showcases the latest clinical and policy developments across the UK and brings together an impressive range of national and international speakers.
This year’s theme is sustainable primary care - sustainable in having a central role in the delivery of health care and sustainable in terms of playing our part against global warming.
The RCGP is rapidly approaching its 60th anniversary and is now the largest Royal College by membership in the United Kingdom. The RCGP has helped to support and sustain the best of general practice and even through turbulent times, general practice continues to be at the centre of the NHS. Together we continue to provide the bulk of health care to the UK population and are able to respond to increasing demands and changing needs of patients, PCTs and politicians.
The conference looks at growing healthy partnerships and we continue within the streams of the conference programme to offer a wide choice of sessions for nurses, managers and physicians assistants within the newly launched General Practice Foundation. There is a new stream for newly qualified GPs, while the First5 and the AiTs stream is growing in strength. We also continue to forge links with external partners – patient groups, charities and government bodies.

The improvement in radiotherapy techniques and methods has led to an increase in survival but also an increase in the late term effects in normal tissue. This meeting will review the current knowledge and understand the implications of our successes. This meeting aims to raise awareness of the potential problems of technological advances and provide information for discussion.
