SUMMARY:Research webinar: Sex\, intimacy and relationships after a brain tumour diagnosis
DESCRIPTION:Hear from Dr Florien Boele and Dr Ning Song from the University of Leeds as they introduce their research exploring how brain tumours affect sexual health\, intimacy and relationships\, and how people affected can take part. \nSex\, intimacy and closeness are important parts of many people’s lives\, yet a brain tumour diagnosis can bring changes that are difficult to understand or navigate. These may arise from the tumour itself\, treatment\, or the emotional and psychological impact of living with a brain tumour\, affecting both patients and their partners. \nDespite this\, we still know relatively little about how brain tumours affect sexual health and relationships\, or what support people need. \nResearchers at the University of Leeds are working to address this gap by exploring people’s experiences of sex\, intimacy and relationship wellbeing following a brain tumour diagnosis. Their research\, funded by The Brain Tumour Charity\, aims to build a better understanding of the challenges people face and identify opportunities to improve support for patients and their partners. \nDuring this webinar\, Florien and Ning will introduce the study\, explain what they hope to learn\, and share how people affected by brain tumours can contribute to the research through a survey or interview. They’ll also explain what taking part involves and how the findings could inform future support. \nThere will also be an opportunity to ask questions and find out more about participating. \nWhether you are living with a brain tumour\, supporting a partner\, or simply interested in learning more about this important and often overlooked area of research\, we would be delighted to welcome you. \nWho is this event for? \nPrimarily people living with slow-growing or non-malignant brain tumours and their partners. However\, the research survey is open to people with any brain tumour diagnosis\, and everyone with an interest in the research is welcome to attend. \nPlease be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link and Meeting ID with your ticket.
