The Royal Free London NET teamAs one of the world leading centres in neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), the Royal Free London neuroendocrine tumour unit is hosting the European Neuroendocrine Tumour Society summer school 2016 from 12 to 14 September.

Twenty young physicians from Europe with special interest in the field of NETs will attend a series of clinical and research lectures delivered by expert members of the Royal Free Hospital (RFH) multi-disciplinary NET team, as well as UCL Academic Partners. They will also have the opportunity to attend the NET multi-disciplinary team meeting and have interactive discussions with RFH NET experts with regards to management of complex cases.

This educational event will trigger further international clinical and research collaboration between our NET unit and other specialist NET centres across Europe for the benefit of our patients.
