The aim of the conference is to bring together physiotherapists working in oncology from around the globe, to share knowledge, exchange best practice, and update knowledge based on recent scientific developments.
As physiotherapists play a pivotal role in helping people living with cancer to manage side- and long-term effects of cancer and cancer treatment, the overall theme of the 2023 conference is:
‘Advances in providing the best care’
Learning outcome
With this conference, we aim to bring together physiotherapists working in oncology from around the globe, to share knowledge, exchange best practice, and update knowledge based on recent scientific developments.
About the conference
The format of the conference will be a mix of plenary sessions and parallel sessions, giving the participants the opportunity to choose special areas of interest. The speakers are internationally recognized researchers, clinical experts or professional leaders. In addition, poster presentations and the opportunity to submit symposium proposals will enable you to highlight your own research.
The parallel sessions will have a varied focus: some will focus on clinical practice, other parallel sessions on scientific research, and program evaluation. More detailed information about the parallel sessions will follow later.
All accepted posters are exhibited, and some of them will be presented during the parallel sessions.
Pre- and post-conference courses
