“Cancer Health Disparities: Awareness to Action
- 28 November 2025
- Conway Hall, London | Part of London Global Cancer Week
Cancer does not impact all communities equally. Around the world and here in the UK, factors such as ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geography, and access to care profoundly shape who is diagnosed, how they are treated, and ultimately, who survives.
On the 28th of November 2025, we are bringing together global experts, policymakers, industry leaders, community advocates, and most importantly, patients to move from awareness to action.
Why attend?
This event offers a rare opportunity to engage with those shaping the future of equitable cancer care:
Keynote speakers, including Isabel Mestres (City Cancer Challenge Foundation) and Lacy Hubbard (Elekta Foundation), will highlight the global burden and future of cancer equity.
Expert insights from leaders, including Prof Habib Naqvi (NHS Race and Health Observatory), Naser Turabi (CRUK), Dr Dario Trapani (ESMO/Common Sense Oncology), Prof Margaret Ikpoh DL (RCGP), and Prof Faye Ruddock DL (Institute of Health Equity and Social Justice).
High-level panel discussions featuring healthcare leaders, policymakers, pharma, and patient representatives tackling trial diversity, socioeconomic barriers, primary care, and community engagement.
Patient voices at the heart of the agenda: lived experience stories, rapid-fire sessions on tackling mistrust, and
The Vanessa Moss Prize celebrates innovation and equity in cancer research.
This is more than a conference: it’s a call to action. Whether you are a clinician, policymaker, researcher, industry partner, charity leader, or patient advocate, your perspective is essential to shaping solutions that truly leave no one behind.
Programme highlights include:
- The state of ethnic inequities in UK cancer care
- Socioeconomic influences on outcomes
- Diversity in clinical trials and research
- Community engagement and culturally competent care
- Tackling misinformation and mistrust
- Lived experiences from patients and survivors
- The day will end with a networking reception, providing space for collaboration and partnership.
We are deeply grateful to our Platinum, Gold, and Silver Sponsors, whose support makes this important gathering possible.
Register now and be part of the movement towards equitable cancer care.
Together, we can bridge the gap between awareness and action.”
