Neuroblastoma Parent Symposium 

We were absolutely delighted to be able to welcome families to our Neuroblastoma Parent Symposium in person this year, for the first time since 2019. Although we’ve been running the event online since 2020, prior to that we had been bringing the neuroblastoma community together in person since 2012, so it’s wonderful that we were able to do this again. As a hybrid event, the event was live-streamed for anyone who cannot attend in person.

About the Symposium 

The Symposium was free to attend and open to all individuals, parents, and families affected by neuroblastoma, regardless of where they are in their journey, and aims to empower them with knowledge and support as they navigate their unique challenges. The event included presentations and Q&A sessions with top cancer researchers and health professionals, where families can learn about the latest neuroblastoma treatments and research, as well as the challenges that may arise post-treatment. There was also a survivor-led discussion and presentations on self-care and hope.

Attending in person provided the opportunity to spend two days learning the latest expert information, connecting with others in similar situations, and forging lasting relationships. It also provides a chance to engage with researchers and healthcare professionals involved in the treatment and care of children, as well as with our family support team and the wider charity.

Here are some highlights from one of our previous events...

Video Resources

We record all sessions each year, enabling and growing a valuable video resource library for families affected by neuroblastoma to draw on throughout their journey. Thanks to this, we're able to reach parents far beyond our events, helping to empower them through knowledge and sharing of experiences.

This video library covers a broad range of topics within neuroblastoma, including the basics of the disease, current approaches to treatment, cutting-edge areas of research, and psychosocial support.
