Prevent Breast Cancer Family History Clinic Study Day 2026

pbc conference

Following directly after the UKICBS Conference (19-20th January, ICC Birmingham), this focused one-day programme was an opportunity for clinicians to network, share best practice and consider how the latest advances might impact upon their areas of expertise.

Aimed at clinicians working in Family History Clinics, the Prevent Breast Cancer’s Family History Clinic Study day offered a unique opportunity to:

• Deepen your knowledge with the latest research and updates on genetic risk assessment and management.
• Share best practice with colleagues running family history services across the UK.
• Translate conference insights into practical approaches for patient care.
