Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

UKLCC Regional Meeting in Scotland 2026 is a one-day in-person meeting for clinicians and teams involved in lung cancer care, held at Stirling Court Hotel during Lung Cancer Awareness Month. The programme is built around Scottish service delivery, with sessions on the UKLCC and lung cancer care in Scotland, rural and deprivation-related challenges, lung cancer screening, and innovation in future pathways. It is explicitly multidisciplinary, welcoming oncologists, respiratory physicians, thoracic surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, lung cancer nurse specialists, cancer leads, cancer alliances, commissioning and health-board colleagues. The day includes registration refreshments, four speaker-led sessions with Q&A, lunch, networking and an exhibition. Visible registration pricing is simple: healthcare professionals can register for £25 and industry attendees for £250; accommodation is not included and must be booked separately. No public abstract, poster or oral-submission route is advertised on the event, programme, speaker, registration, rate or venue pages, so abstract deadline, presentation categories and publication outcome are not available. Venue information is practical: Stirling Court Hotel is two miles from central Stirling, accessible by public transport from Glasgow and Edinburgh, and has limited complimentary parking plus local park-and-ride options.
