Grant Application now Open
We are pleased to announce the 2024 round of the Neuroendocrine Cancer UK pump-priming grants in collaboration with UKINETS funded by the Neuroendocrine Cancer UK community. The aim of this grant is to provide pump-priming funds to support research projects designed to improve outcomes for patients with neuroendocrine cancer.
PERT-Webinars
A recent survey revealed that 87% of neuroendocrine cancer patients prescribed PERT have experienced shortages. In partnership with Pancreatic Cancer UK, Pancreatic Cancer Action, Cystic Fibrosis Trust, and Guts UK, we hosted two free webinars addressing this issue. The September webinars provided guidance on managing PERT shortages, offering practical tips to support patients. One session was tailored for Clinical Nurse Specialists and Dietitians, while the other focused on GPs and pharmacists. Both recordings are available to watch now. Further updates can be found on our News page and the Specialist Pharmacy Service website.
