Cancer Trials Ireland in collaboration with the RCSI NSRSC, IRROG and ISM are hosting a National Training Day on Friday, 30 January 2026 in University Colllege Dublin. Abstract Submissions are now open, and will close on 14 January 2026.

This year’s National Training Day brings together professionals from Haematology, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Surgery, Translational Research, and Allied Health to explore emerging research, develop practical skills, and reflect on the “hidden curriculum” that shapes clinical and academic careers.
