This Information Evening, aimed at patients, their carers, family and friends affected by a brain tumour, provided an overview of the organisation and management of the Northern Ireland Regional Neuro-Oncology service including the role of the MDT and how it operates.
Over 70 members attended the event which was held at the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology (CCRCB), Queen’s University, Belfast.
Our members had the opportunity to hear from the key healthcare professionals involved in the pathway of care and management and to learn about new and emerging techniques on the treatment of brain tumours.
Brainwaves NI continues to build local relationships with key clinicians. This is further strengthening the Charity’s efforts in supporting the continued development of the local Neuro-oncology service.

Mr Steven McKinstry, Consultant Neuroradiologist & Chair of the MDT Meeting;
Ms Medb Bradley, Neuro-Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist;
Dr Brian Herron, Consultant Neuropathologist;
