WLCC Highlights and Understanding Dust-Related Disease Claims

Melanie Rabbets will share key highlights from the 2025 World Lung Cancer Conference, made possible through the support of a Slater and Gordon scholarship. Her summary will bring the latest global research directly to your practice. Following this, the team from Slater and Gordon will deliver a practical presentation on how they can support your patients affected by dust and occupational diseases. This includes an overview of patient entitlements, how claims are managed, and the additional services they offer — brought to life through real case studies and a live Q&A.
