There are two parliamentary events just around the corner that we are pleased to be a part of, and we hope to gather those who have been affected by brain tumours, supporters, donors and researchers to unite to raise the profile of brain tumours and the concerns of all of use affected by them.
Monday 30th January, London: Andrew Lansley to address All Party Parliamentary Brain Tumour Group
Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, will explain how the new Health Bill will affect the treatment of brain tumours at an All-Party Parliamentary Brain Tumour Group meeting organised by the Brain Tumour Consortium on Monday 30th January in Portcullis House, Westminster.
Wednesday 29 February, London: Summit to launch Brain Tumour Awareness month (March)
200 campaigners, clinicians, patients and politicians will mark the start of Brain Tumour Awareness month at a summit in London on Wednesday 29 February. The summit will focus on issues such as NICE’s improving outcomes guidance, early diagnosis and brain and CNS tumour research funding.
