2016 Neuroblastoma Parent Education Conference Our 5th Annual Neuroblastoma Parent Education Conference – ‘Understanding the Landscape of Neuroblastoma Research’ – was held at Latimer Place in Chesham. This main aim of the conference was to inform parents and families on current and upcoming trials and research surrounding the disease affecting their children. Navigating the landscape can be overwhelming and this conference aimed to empower families to make informed decisions on behalf of their children. We were joined by leading clinicians and researchers both from the UK and around the world. As well as a combination of presentations and open panels, the conference featured our Gala Dinner, which provided more opportunities for families and researchers to network and socialise in an informal setting. We are very grateful to all the speakers who volunteered their time to attend the conference and for allowing us to share their presentations, which you can watch below.
