GRICS at Clinical Oncology Society of Australia ASM 2024

GRICS was delighted to attend the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia’s (COSA) 51st Annual Scientific Meeting this year with many posters highlighting the invaluable work being undertaken across Gippsland. Our signature blue posters were clearly visible and easily associated with the VICS, with many people heading from the posters to our booth to find out more about improvements in cancer services currently underway in Gippsland.
