The Wales Cancer Innovation Challenge is taking place on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 November 2019 at Cardiff Metropolitan University – Cyncoed Campus, Cardiff.  This two day innovation marathon will provide health and care professionals from across Wales with the opportunity pitch solutions to real-life delivery issues to a wide range of industry partners from health technology, biotech and digital.

Staff working in cancer services are invited to submit applications, and shortlisted ideas will be invited to the two-day event in November.

Application details will be available via www.lshubwales.com/events on Friday 4 October 2019.
