The Complete Guide to the UKONS Annual Conference 2026

UKONS Annual Conference 2026 is the UK Oncology Nursing Society conference for cancer nursing professionals, taking place at SEC Glasgow on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 November 2026. The public conference page confirms registration is open through Cvent and accommodation options are linked from the same event page, but the visible registration flow requires delegate details before showing fee tiers, so standard, trainee and student prices should be treated as not yet publicly extractable. The call for abstracts is open under the theme “Innovation, Inclusion & Impact”. Submissions are invited for oral or poster presentation, with the abstract deadline stated as Friday 26 June 2026. The site links an abstract guideline PDF and a separate online abstract submission form; because the guideline detail is PDF-only, it has been stored as an evidence URL rather than parsed. The event is relevant to oncology nurses and wider cancer-care professionals looking for a UK national nursing society meeting with presentation opportunities, sponsor presence and networking. No CPD point total, named speakers or full programme sessions were visible on the pages inspected during this run.
