Project Description

The Cancer and Primary Care Research International Network (CAPRI) conference is an annual international multidisciplinary conference for primary cancer care researchers, which promotes international networking and collaboration. It is therefore a great privilege to represent my colleagues and the Yorkshire Cancer Research as the presenter of two electronic poster presentations at this conference and to disseminate our ground-breaking research outputs. I will learn the latest research outcomes in the early diagnosis of cancer field during the different conference sessions, and will also have the opportunity to network and collaborate with the conference delegates, who are leading researchers in this field, which may lead to future research collaborations. ln turn, I will transfer my knowledge to the members of the Academy of Primary Care (Hull York Medical School) and Institute of Clinical Applied Health Research (ICAHR) and medical undergraduate students. Furthermore, I hope that this opportunity will contribute to my achieving my objective of making a difference in Early of Diagnosis of Cancer field globally, making collaborations within the research group and globally in order to make an impact. Obtaining the latest knowledge in this field to share with the students will also contribute to my objective of inspiring students to obtain an interest in this field. I will also draw from this information while writing for publications and grant applications.
