‘Promote excellence in the nursing management and care of all those directly and indirectly affected by cancer in all four countries of the UK’.
We work at both local and regional levels to ensure that UKONS strives to represent the voice for all cancer nurses across the UK. By engaging with the educational and developmental needs of our members we also play an advisory role in the development of cancer guidelines and policy.
’Inspire cancer nursing’ by supporting cancer nurses in their research, learning and development, we inspire and promote excellence in cancer care.
Here’s a special video capturing just a few of the highlights from our annual conference, held in Birmingham last November.
The 2025 UKONS Conference marked 20 incredible years of the UK Oncology Nursing Society. From thought-provoking plenary sessions to powerful stories showcasing excellence in cancer nursing, the conference truly brought the theme, “Celebrating the Inspirational in Cancer Nursing,” to life.
Huge thanks to every delegate, speaker, sponsor, organiser, and volunteer who made this landmark event so meaningful. Here’s to the years of advancing cancer nursing together! With special thanks to Derek from Digi Deli for helping to capture – the energy, the pride, the passion that makes our community so special.
Look out for yourself and your colleagues in the video. Share the memory further and introduce others to the UKONS network.
