Most people living with a brain tumour will meet a neurosurgeon and an oncologist but where does a neurologist fit in? Many of us don’t know, and that matters, because so much of what affects daily life – so seizures, headaches, cognition, fatigue – sits squarely within a neurologist’s expertise.

We’re delighted to be hosting Dr Gerald Finnerty, Senior Lecturer Honorary Consultant Neurologist at King’s College Hospital and a member of the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission, for an open conversation with our community. Rather than assuming what patients need, he is coming to us first – to listen, to learn what you want from a neuro-oncology service, and to use your insight to make the case for change.

This is an informal, open discussion – no slides, no jargon, no preparation required. We’ll share a few questions in advance so you can gather your thoughts, but the session will be led by what matters to you. Topics might include: what you understand a neurologist’s role to be, what’s missing from your current care, and what “living well with a brain tumour” means to you.

When: 20 July at 3pm 
Where: Online via Zoom – a link will be sent when you book
Who: People living with a low grade or non-malignant brain tumour and their caregivers

Please be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link and Meeting ID with your ticket.
