Campaigning

We are a member of the Brain Tumour Consortium, a coalition of brain tumour organisations who are striving to fulfil three core asks:

1. To ensure early diagnosis and treatment by ensuring that clear guidelines on identifying the signs and symptoms of brain tumours, and on referring patients for rapid and appropriate assessment, are intergrated into General Practice and Emergency Medicine Practice. 

- To implement NICE's best practice guidance by setting a clear timetable to fully implement and audit the Improving Outcomes Guidance, or its country equivalent, in particular by ensuring that the Health and Social Care Bill maintains the progress made to date. 

- To increase Goverment investment in brain tumour research and more accurately measure numbers of both primary and secondary brain tumours by publishing a detailed breakdown of site-specific brain tumour research funding from the Government and ensure that by 2014 at least 7.5% of adults with primary brain tumours are enrolled in randomised, controlled clincial trials as part of their therapy. 

Resources for campaigning

Alongside the Brain Tumour Consortium, we offer you a number of different resources to help you campaign for greater awareness and Government investment. Please visit the Brain Tumour Consortium website to read the Brain Tumour Manifesto, learn how to contact your MP and find out more about the work of the campaigning group. 

We would love you to join us in signing this petition for greater brain tumour awareness. Please share it with your friends and family.
