2025 All-Island Paediatric Oncology Conference
Thursday 16th and Friday 17th October 2025, 9am-6pm
Ballymascanlon Hotel, Dundalk
Are you a healthcare professional working with children and young people with cancer, or a researcher with an interest in childhood, adolescent & young adult cancer?
Join us at the first ever all-island childhood cancer conference, held in collaboration with Childhood Cancer Ireland, The Children's Cancer Unit Charity, National Children's Cancer Service at Children's Health Ireland, Crumlin and the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children.
This important event is the first step toward creating a joined-up system of care for children and young people with cancer across the island of Ireland.
It follows the successful example of the All-Island Congenital Heart Disease Network, which shows how North-South co-operation can lead to better services and outcomes.
Our hope is that this cross-border initiative will advance a more equitable, integrated, and collaborative system of care for children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer regardless of geography.
The conference will be an opportunity to hear from a range of speakers , network with colleagues and to learn about new developments and plans in the treatment and care of children with cancer.
Delegates range from clinicians and healthcare providers to researchers, academics and patient advocates involved in the paediatric oncology community, across Ireland and abroad.

◦ Multi-disciplinary, research and clinical insight sessions
