The 56th Annual Conference of Te Pūao Mātai Pukupuku New Zealand Society for Oncology, was an inspiring and impactful gathering dedicated to advancing cancer care and research. The conference brought together world-class clinicians, researchers, nurses, students, allied health professionals, and industry leaders to share cutting-edge insights, spark new ideas, and strengthen collaboration across our community.

A highlight of the conference was our exceptional international speaker programme, featuring renowned experts from around the globe who shared the latest developments in cancer treatment, research, and clinical practice. Their perspectives will help drive meaningful discussions and shape the future of oncology.

Guided by this year’s theme, Advocacy in Action: Shaping Cancer Care Together, we engaged with our growing nursing membership and welcomed radiation oncologists and colleagues from across Aotearoa.
