Every year around 300,000 EU citizens receive a diagnosis for a haematalogical malignancy, including leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma. Each cancer type places its own unique demands on health systems and how they can best prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat these diseases.
To this end, the European Cancer Organisation is supporting the EU-funded research project SANGUINE to investigate novel approaches to early detection of these blood cancers. It is also bringing together its member societies, patient organisations and other entities to identify precisely what is needed for better blood cancer treatment.
We invite all interested stakeholders in Europe and around the world to join us we explore the latest developments in these fields and what they may mean for better blood cancer care.
Don't not miss out on this opportunity. Register now!

A Stakeholder Forum for the TRANSiTION Project
Background
Despite digital health's potential, challenges persist in cancer care, including a scarcity of workforce training on digital skills and limited digital health literacy.
Digital literacy among healthcare professionals, non-clinical professionals (i.e. health managers) and cancer patients is crucial for the successful digital solutions uptake and integration across the cancer continuum hence capitalizing on its full potential. Education and training in digital health are identified as top priorities for developing the future healthcare workforce (i.e. healthcare professionals and non-clinical professionals), improving the quality of care and quality of care experience and enabling patient access to improved healthcare services.

More than 40% of physicians in Europe will be retiring within the next five years, according to the World Health Organization. Healthcare professionals still practicing will be grappling with overwhelming workloads, excessive bureaucracy, and inadequate support, driving many more to burnout. Under such conditions, medical mistakes are inevitable and patient care suffers.
The European Cancer Organisation, alongside its member societies and broader community, has embarked on a pan-European campaign entitled, 'Time to Accelerate: for Our Workforce'. It challenges policies within national governments and health institutions to improve working conditions for cancer professionals.
Yet, addressing this crisis requires more than top-down policy reforms. Groundwork is essential. So, the European Cancer Community Foundation is introducing the European Cancer Workforce Grants.
