These sessions are primarily for GPs, breast specialists in oncology, pharmacology, surgery, plastic surgery, brow bone, radiology, screening, nursing and general health planning
Saturday 17th September 10 – 4 is designed for patient and patient support groups. Frost’s medical correspondent, doctor and patient, Kathleen Thompson is amongst the speakers and will be talking at 11.15 on Reactions to diagnosis: getting the treatment you want. Kathleen’s award winning and hugely successful book From Both Ends of the Stethoscope, charts not just her own, often hilarious, journey through diagnosis to treatment, but also how to get the right treatment.
The force of nature behind Pink Ribbon is Gerard Dugdill who read medicine initially and then philosophy at Cambridge. He moved on to study journalism at Cardiff and worked as a journalist and publisher for a number of years. He owns two magazines, Credit Today and Pink Ribbon, and is one of those people who rolls up his sleeves and sets off in pursuit of his dream: in this case, to help eliminate breast cancer.
