Upcoming webinar for clinicians on Breast Cancer Register Report

In February, Breast Cancer Foundation NZ released the first comprehensive report into Te Rēhita Mate Ūtaetae - Breast Cancer Foundation National Register. 30,000 voices: Informing a better future for breast cancer in Aotearoa New Zealand reports on diagnoses, treatments and outcomes for 30,000 patients diagnosed 2003-2019, with follow-up to 2020.

It also discusses directions for further investigation and improvement.

The report is a potentially daunting 176 pages, so we’re offering busy clinicians the chance to watch an expert panel present the highlights in a webinar for healthcare professionals at 7pm on Thursday March 31st. The webinar will run up to 1 hour 15 minutes, and will include an interactive Q&A session.

Register to join us at 7pm on Thursday 31 March. If you have a colleague who might like to attend, please pass this invitation along.
