Testimonials
I had the honour of volunteering at the OUTpatients Annual
Conference and it was an incredibly
enriching experience. The event was well-organised and
highlighted the commitment of everyone involved to improve
outpatients.
I had the opportunity to engage with professionals
and attendees from a variety of backgrounds, which
deepened my understanding of the field and the challenges
and innovations within outpatient services. I was particularly
impressed with how smoothly the conference ran, from the
registration desk to the sessions and networking opportunities.
I learned so much from the speakers and discussions, and
it was heartening to see such a strong focus on patient-
centered care and continuous improvement.

Event Volunteer
I really enjoyed volunteering at the OUTpatients Conference
last year. I volunteered to support OUTpatients and to learn more
about cancer and the discourse around it where it concerned
LGBTQIA+ individuals.
It was my first time and I learned a whole lot. This has shaped
not only my outlook on the subject but also it has shaped and informed what I want I do next in my career. I hope to volunteer with OUTpatients again
soon.
