Breast Care Nurses Workshop 2008
This Workshop is now fully booked.
On Wednesday 4 June 2008 Breakthrough Breast Cancer will be holding its fourth National Breast Care Nurses Workshop. This is a free event for breast care nurses working in the UK and will be held at the Hesperia London Victoria Hotel.
This year the workshop will concentrate on areas of nursing that breast care nurses have described as particularly difficult or controversial. From exploring how to communicate a poor prognosis to debating whether the NHS should fund complementary therapies, the programme has been designed to confront challenges and provoke discussion.
The Hesperia London Victoria Hotel is located at 2 Bridge Place, London SW1V 1QA.
