ECO/ICO 2020 Online Patient Portal
We have created a dedicated space to share parts of the programme where we can focus on what will be most important for our Patients. You will be able to see updates and posts from members of the Executive Team and Patient Council. We will be adding new content as the conference progresses, so please check back regularly.
Patient Timetable
We have been working hard to try and work through the ECO/ICO time table and highlight what sessions we think you might like to attend. We have also included sessions where we will have patient involvement.
Although we have detailed these sessions, you can chose what sessions you would like to attend.
