A conference highlighting new technology and positive developments in cancer care is coming to the north east.

Held by CLAN Cancer Support and Aberdeen Myeloma Support Group, the one-day conference is taking place during Myeloma Awareness Week.

Myeloma is a type of blood cancer which develops from plasma cells.

Each year, approximately 5700 people are diagnosed with it, which accounts for 15% of bloody cancers in the UK.

The conference will be held at CLAN House in Aberdeen on Wednesday.

Join support group leader, Christine Boylan, said: "The Aberdeen Myeloma Support Group provides support for anyone living with Myeloma and also aims to raise awareness of Myeloma itself.

"The continuing development of technology is so important in the world of medicine and care and as a group we fully embrace anything we can do to help and support technological advances which may help people who are living with a cancer diagnosis or caring for a loved one."
