The Macmillan Professionals Conference provides a unique opportunity for Macmillan to reach, inspire and engage Healthcare Professionals at a national level, bringing the community of Macmillan Professionals together to network, learn and share best practice. Delegates from across the UK can build their own agenda of inspiring plenary sessions and workshops, explore a curated exhibition, and engage with posters presented by their peers.

"It has been the highlight of my year professionally. I felt valued, appreciated, taken care of, listened to. I felt connected to the Macmillan brand and proud to be part of this charity." - Delegate quote

The conference is an opportunity to:

  • Network and build relationships with health and social care peers working in cancer care from across the UK.
  • Be inspired by each other and our industry expert speakers.
  • Share learning, insight and experiences from your local area and hear about best practice.
  • Stay up to date with what’s happening in cancer on the national and local scale.
  • Gain practical skills and tools to support you in your role.
  • Learn about Macmillan’s vision for the future and the role you play in helping us to do whatever it takes for people living with and affected by cancer.

A highlight of the event is the Macmillan Professionals Excellence Awards ceremony, where the winners of our prestigious awards are announced.
