Dear Colleagues,
The breast cancer program at NCCCR has taken the lead in establishing an educational initiative for clinical teams by developing a two day masterclass activity to share the latest development in the management of breast cancer patients and facilitate best practice knowledge sharing.
These up-to-date developments are based on research and informed
evidence that can be used to guide prevention, diagnosis, and treatment
options to improve patient outcomes and save lives.
The first masterclass in breast cancer management to be held in
Doha emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. It is
expected to attract around 300 participants including medical
oncologists, pathologists, gynecologists, surgeons, doctors and
physicians from PHCC and the private sector to meet and network.
This masterclass activity which has earned a total of 10 Continuing
Professional Development (CPD) hours - categories 1, accredited from
Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners (QCHP) will focus on
comprehensive, evidenced-based clinical practices related to breast
cancer care within a multidisciplinary setting. It will discuss the
importance of analyzing and debating available facts to provide the most
up to date knowledge in the management of breast cancer. It will also
develop recommendations with the ultimate goal of improving standards of
care, increasing survival rates, and enhancing patients’ quality of
life.
It is therefore with great enthusiasm that we invite you to attend
the First Masterclass in Breast Cancer Management that will take place
on 28-29 April 2017, at Ritz Carlton- Doha.
Under the theme, “Moving towards Comprehensive Breast Cancer Care”,
the masterclass will include a number of plenary lectures, case based
discussion sessions, followed by some social activities in and around
Qatar for our distinguished guests.
We hope you will join us and we look forward to sharing with you as much knowledge and expertise as possible.
