Introduction

The 2nd Annual Investigators Meeting for the SUPREMO trial is on Friday 20th June 2008 in the Carlton Hotel, Edinburgh. This will provide an update on progress of the trial within the UK, the EORTC and other international trial groups. It will also feature a guest lecture by Lori Pearce from the University of Michigan entitled "Radiation Planning in the Treatment of Breast Cancer" and a presentation by David Cameron, Director of the NCRN, outlining "The New Framework for Cancer Research in the NHS: Challenges and Opportunities". There is a strong educational component to the meeting and the programme (.pdf) has been submitted for CPD accreditation by the Royal College of Radiologists.

Travel and Accomodation

Delegates are expected to book their own travel and will then be reimbursed, so please keep receipts. Accomodation will be arranged by the SUPREMO team, so please contact us if you believe you will require this.

• Arriving by train
  The Carlton Hotel is a 5 - 10 minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley train station. Simply exit the station via Waverley steps (exit to Princes Street), then turn right at the top onto Princes Street. Take the first right onto North Bridge, and the hotel is on the left after the bridge.
• Arriving by plane
  At the airport please catch the Airport Express (number 100) to its last (9th) stop on Waverley Bridge, and from there walk down the hill away from Princes Street and towards the mini roundabout. Go straight on up Cockburn Street (warning: steep hill), then turn left at the end onto the Royal Mile. Turn left at the crossroads onto North Bridge, and the hotel is on the right hand side almost immediately. Please click on the map below for the route.
