Two young adults from Ung Kreft will share their personal experiences in the talk. "Rehabilitation must address the person, not the diagnosis"In addition, there will be a sofa dialogue led by Elin Drivenes.
Engelsk Konferansen arrangeres av Nettverk for kreftrehabilitering, som arbeider for å systematisere og formidle kunnskap, styrke forskning og fremme samarbeid på tvers av fagmiljøer og helseregioner. Etter en vellykket konferanse i 2024 rettes blikket nå nordover – til en region som ikke tidligere har vært vertskap for arrangementet. The conference is organized by the Cancer Rehabilitation Network, which works to systematize and disseminate knowledge, strengthen research, and promote collaboration across professional communities and health regions. After a successful conference in 2024, the focus is now turned north – to a region that has not previously hosted the event.
