Strengthening early recognition, supporting more accurate diagnosis and improving care for women affected by vulval disease and vulval cancer
Bringing together gynaecology and gynaecological oncology professionals, this one-day online forum will share practical approaches to build your confidence in recognising vulval conditions that may indicate pre-cancer or cancer and understand what supports timely referral and diagnosis.
