Programme Details

During this ECHO, we will discuss and develop our understanding of topics, selected by potential participants, that will be of help in our day-to-day work with individuals receiving oncological and palliative care.  To assist us, we have secured excellent presenters from both sides of the Atlantic! 

These sessions will provide a great opportunity to meet, share ideas and learn with colleagues who are working with folks living in all corners of the area served by NHS Highland. As always, in ECHO Networks, we encourage participants to take the opportunity to bring case stories to the group for discussion and expert opinion.
