Pelican IMPACT has now drawn to a close after two years on the road. Our workshop in Kent on the 17th January was the grand finale in what has been a broad-reaching and highly successful programme delivered throughout the UK and Ireland.
Professor Brendan Moran commented: “Spearheaded by Pelican Cancer Foundation and the current President of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland, Nicola Fearnhead, in conjunction with Professor Jim Hill, ACPGBI President 2017-2018 – and myself as immediate past-president in 2018-2019, IMPACT combined the experience of Pelican Cancer Foundation in MDT Course development and delivery with the clinical leadership of ACPGBI.
We are particularly grateful to our two main donors, The Lady Yuen Peng McNeice Charitable Foundation and the ACPGBI for the enormous financial support which made this venture possible. This initiative will improve outcomes for many of our most ill patients and will help integrate the crucial role of palliative care in complex cancer pathways. More patients will be cured and best care delivered to all. Thank you Pelican Cancer Foundation, ACPGBI, and all participants!”.
