The Oracle Head & Neck Cancer UK Oncology Meeting

The Milner York ( Formerly the Principal Hotel), Station Rd, York. YO24 1AA
The Oracle Head & Neck Cancer UK Oncology Meeting is taking place on Friday 25th September 2026 at The Milner York (formerly the Principal Hotel), York.
This meeting is designed to complement existing UK head and neck oncology events, with a focus on multidisciplinary collaboration and the sharing of knowledge to improve patient care within NHS practice.
Now a well-established event in the clinical calendar, the meeting welcomed over 180 participants in 2025. Attendees represented a wide range of disciplines including: radiography, nursing, clinical and medical oncology, surgery, dentistry, speech and language therapy, and radiology from approximately 40 centres across the UK.
The Committee has been fortunate once again to secure support so that we are able to offer attendance at the event free of charge. However, donations to Oracle Head and Neck Cancer UK are very welcome. Like many charities, we struggle for funds and overwhelming demand for our services continues. If you are in a position to support us, please make a donation by clicking here.
The meeting agenda and content are independently led by our existing scientific oncology steering committee and will provide participants with the opportunity to facilitate best practice by discussing the latest trends and developments in head & neck cancer, as well as also affording the opportunity to network with peers.
We are very pleased that The British Association of Head and Neck Oncologists (BAHNO) will again kindly be providing support for the meeting.
The programme is be aimed primarily at Clinical and Medical Oncologists, and multidisciplinary team members are welcome to attend the meeting.
