All Wales Immunotherapy Toxicity Group
The All Wales Immunotherapy Toxicity Group has been established by the Wales Cancer Network as a subgroup of the All Wales Acute Oncology Service (AOS) Group and All Wales Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) Group. It aims to provide a strategic lead for immunotherapy toxicity priorities and a forum for the ratification of all Wales developments enabling a coordinated approach to service provision.
National Immuno-oncology (IO) Education Forum
The national immuno-oncology education forum is a multi-disciplinary meeting that was established by Helen Winter, Consultant from Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre, and Ricky Frazer, Consultant at Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff. It has grown to more than 100 colleagues from across the whole of the UK that come together once a month to discuss immunotherapy related topics. Topics covered so far include recognising myasthenia gravis, management of colitis and review of national steroid guidelines. The National IO Education Forum is open to all healthcare professionals regardless of experience; the only requirement is an interest in immunotherapy and a desire to improve patient care. The meetings take place virtually via Microsoft Teams on the first Thursday of every month at 1pm regardless of the date it falls on and lasts no more than 1 hour. If you are interested in joining the National IO Education Forum, please contact Ricky and the team on VCCNational.IOEducationForum@wales.nhs.uk
