What's coming up over the next few weeks

Reminder · Zoom · Tue 21 July, 6–7pm

Dr John Mak on neuroendocrine carcinomas

Our education Zoom looks at NECs – the fast-growing cancers that behave quite differently from the NETs we usually focus on. Registration closes soon, so grab your spot if you haven't already.

Special invitation · In person · Thu 23 July, 5.30–7.30pm

Towards a Comprehensive Cancer Centre Dr Ben Lawrence · University of Auckland

Dr Ben Lawrence, head of the new Department of Cancer Sciences at the University of Auckland, warmly invites the NETs community to his inaugural seminar – a vision for bringing the University, clinical services and communities together as one connected system, because the solutions we need won't come from working in silos.

The session opens the Cancer Sciences Symposium (23–24 July). Drinks and canapés are served afterwards, and your spot is free.

Community · Fri 24 July, 11am

Auckland coffee catch-up

Join us at Tupu'anga Café, Mt Eden. We'll have a quiet space held for our group – come for a warm cuppa and good company. If you're not sure where to go, just ask at the counter.

Advocacy · Sat 25 July, 10am–5pm

Unlock the Forbidden Pharmacy

Alongside 16 other health charities, we've filled the shelves of a pop-up pharmacy with treatments Kiwis can't access – to show the next government what's out of reach. It's an election year, so now is the moment. Shed 10, 89 Quay Street, Auckland CBD.

Course · Starts Mon 3 August

Living with NETs – next course starting soon

Our supported group course runs over four consecutive Mondays, 11am–1pm, starting Monday 3 August. A warm, practical space to learn alongside others living with a NET diagnosis.

Register once and we'll send the Zoom link and a calendar invite for all four Mondays.
