Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

This one-day hybrid meeting is aimed at NHS healthcare professionals and the wider UK chronic lymphocytic leukaemia community. The morning programme covers hairy cell leukaemia, large granular lymphocytic leukaemia and T-PLL, followed by parallel UK CLL Forum and UK CLL Nurse Forum sessions. Later sessions cover the UK trials portfolio, infection risk and management, and current CLL treatment evidence, with a keynote from Dr Carolyn Owen.

Research is built into the meeting. The programme includes the Hamblin Prize presentation and the Lelia Duley prize for patient-centred research. The Forum's Catovsky Prize route invites non-tenured CLL researchers to submit original research; the highest-scoring abstracts are selected for 15-minute oral presentations and the remainder are invited as posters. The organiser does not publish a current word limit, abstract structure, exact 2026 closing date, submission link or publication outcome.

Registration is open for NHS healthcare professionals at £30 in person or £50 for the live stream. Twenty free in-person places are available to nurses who can confirm attendance with the organiser; this is a limited offer rather than a general trainee fee. No general registration closing date or CPD accreditation is stated.
