Last week, Affidea was honoured to be Lead Partner of the LaingBuisson Out-of-Hospital Healthcare Conference in London, bringing together leaders, policymakers, investors and providers to discuss the future of care beyond the hospital.

The conference opened with a keynote from Guy Blomfield, Affidea’s Group CEO and Chairman of the Management Board, who outlined the structural forces accelerating the shift toward out-of-hospital care across Europe — ageing populations, rising chronic disease and mounting pressure on hospital capacity, as well as patients’ growing expectations for faster access, high-quality and services delivered closer to home. Drawing on Affidea’s pan-European experience, Guy spoke about how integrated community-based care can expand system capacity, reduce waiting times and deliver high-quality care closer to people’s lives.

This was followed by a panel discussion featuring perspectives from delivery, strategy and investment, with contributions from Guy Blomfield (Affidea), Tobias Kösters (L.E.K. Consulting) and Obaid M***i (Morgan Stanley), moderated by Theodore Roberts.

We thank LaingBuisson for convening such an important conversation, our fellow panellists for their insights, and the many professionals who visited the Affidea stand. It was a pleasure to meet so many professionals, including those who experienced our immersive demonstration, stepping virtually inside one of our community-based polyclinics.

Advancing out-of-hospital care requires collaboration across the entire healthcare ecosystem, and we were proud to contribute to this forward-looking dialogue. 💙

Every year, on 4 February, reminds us that cancer touches millions of lives in countless ways, but it never defines who we are. It is a moment to pause and reflect on what truly matters: the people behind every diagnosis, the families around them, and the deeply human stories of fear, strength, resilience, love and hope. 💙

The World Cancer Day campaign “United by Unique” places people at the very centre of . It recognises that cancer is more than a medical condition, it is a profoundly personal journey, shaped by individual needs, experiences and emotions. When care is built with compassion, empathy and understanding, outcomes improve, and trust grows.

At Affidea, this people-centred philosophy guides how we design and deliver across Europe. From early detection and advanced diagnostics to specialised oncology pathways and targeted treatments, our focus is always on providing personalised, precise and integrated care, tailored to each individual.

Across our network, this commitment comes to life every day whether through comprehensive oncology care in Affidea Romania with MedEuropa, specialised breast cancer pathways at Affidea brustCare Brust-Zentrum Zürich, community-based radiotherapy and oncology services delivered by Affidea Polska and Affidea Nu-Med in Poland, or high-quality radiotherapy treatment at Affidea IMC Banja Luka in Bosnia, helping patients move forward with confidence through timely and care.

Across all our centres, we work within multidisciplinary teams, invest in innovation and technology, and continuously refine specialised cancer care pathways, always with one purpose: to deliver that is shaped around each individual and supports them at every step.

Because every experience with cancer is unique and only by standing united we can shape a future where care is defined by empathy and .

Proud moment for Affidea , our Centre of Excellence in Zurich, Switzerland.🇨🇭

Affidea BrustCare is the first study site in Zurich to enroll a patient in the newly opened NOAX clinical trial.

This milestone reflects our commitment to clinical excellence and to advancing personalised care. 💙

The NOAX trial, initiated by the University Hospital Basel, explores whether patients with clinically node-positive breast cancer undergoing upfront surgery may benefit more from targeted axillary dissection combined with axillary radiotherapy, compared to conventional axillary lymph node dissection — with a strong focus on arm-related quality of life and reducing the risk of lymphedema.

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated study team, PD Dr. Constanze Elfgen, EMBA Elfgen and Dr. med. Katrin T. for the efficient and fast coordination that made this participation possible.

This is research that truly puts patients first. Well done to everyone involved.👏
