Dear Colleague
Re: CONFERENCE ON PATIENT INFORMATION IN CANCER CARE
Below are further details and programme for a conference on patient
information in cancer care, to be held at the Hilton Hotel Sheffield on
Friday 26 September 2003. The conference is open to all - professionals
and consumers.
Please help us distribute this invitation to key players in cancer
information within your area and to any other who might be potentially
interested in the conference.
Perhaps we can encourage you to attend by pointing out the following:
* it’s free – though registration is essential so that we can provide you
all with lunch
* the venue is central. It’s 0.5mile from the railway/coach stations. It’s
just next to the point where a fast road into Sheffield from the M1
reaches the city centre
* it’s an important and timely topic for which a good programme has been
arranged
We are looking forward to seeing many of you on the day.
Yours sincerely
