Strengthening early recognition, supporting more accurate diagnosis and improving care for women affected by vulval disease and vulval cancer
Bringing together gynaecology and gynaecological oncology professionals, this one-day online forum will share practical approaches to improve recovery, psychosexual support and patient experience after treatment. This is a great opportunity for you to build your confidence in recognising vulval conditions that may indicate pre-cancer or cancer and understand what supports timely referral and diagnosis.
Through expert clinical insight, patient perspective and shared discussion, you will leave with greater confidence in recognising suspicious presentations, a clearer understanding of the diagnostic and management pathway, and practical learning you can apply within your own role and service.
