Some quotes from past meetings:
“Really good presenter: clear on complex data. One of UKCAB’s strengths is bringing people into advocacy. I hope this continues.”
“Great meeting. It was good to get an insight into drug development, research and from an access to treatment campaigning perspective”.
“The different perspectives of the different UKCAB members who attended the IAC was very good. It enabled us to see the conference from different points of view – very good to get a rounded view of the conference, the different presenters covered different topics.”
“Overall it has been a brilliant experience to be in a room with like-minded people. Fantastic meeting, well done!”
