CLL Horizons 2019

The 3rd CLL HORIZONS Conference, hosted by the CLL Advocates Network, was held in Edinburgh, Scotland from 19-21 September 2019. This two-and-a-half-day event was held during the 2019 International Workshop on CLL (iwCLL), to share latest clinical advances in medicine and care to inform advocacy initiatives, creating opportunities for additional networking, learning and development of collaborative initiatives between global CLL clinical and advocacy communities.
