As there is a Oncology of Later Life Study Day coming up on 19th July, we thought it might be useful to compile a list of resources for staff treating older patients. 

Many links will ask you to log in with OpenAthens to access the full resource, if you have any trouble accessing something, please get in  touch with your Trust library.

More information about the forthcoming study day can be found here – the event will raise awareness of oncology conditions and treatment options for older patients and develop a forum for multi professional groups to discuss and share knowledge and best practice.

The study day is accredited for 6 CPD points. As well as a great range of speakers we will have a poster display and are currently calling for abstracts. We’d love to see your work on the subject of geriatric oncology or general frailty, not necessarily research based. Abstract submissions should be with us by the 28th June for consideration and a prize will be given on the day for the best poster.

Attendees will feel more confident in assessing older patients and understand how co-morbidities may impact on cancer treatment.
