B.R.A.I.N Conference Donates £5,480 to Brain Tumour Research!
B.R.A.I.N Conference Donates £5,480 to Brain Tumour
Research funding two days of life-saving research!
B.R.A.I.N Conference took place at the Tower Hotel in
London, from the 13-16th December 2021, as a hybrid event. In total over 3500
people joined the conference, both online and in person, with delegates from
all four corners of the globe learning about the latest developments in
Interventional Neuroradiology.
The conference was a huge success, and because of this,
the conference was able to donate some of the proceeds generated through
registrations to a very worthy cause. Brain Tumour Research are building a
network of experts in sustainable research at dedicated Centres of Excellence
whilst influencing the Government and larger cancer charities to invest more
nationally. To help them in their mission, B.R.A.I.N Conference donated £5,480
to the charity. This amount funds two days of life-saving research at one of
the charity’s Centres of Excellence.
B.R.A.I.N Conference Director and Founder Dr Paul Bhogal did
the honours by handing over a cheque to Carol Robertson, National
Events Manager from Brain Tumour
Research charity on the 24th of March 2022 at the Royal London
Hospital.
Dr Bhogal commented “Glioblastoma is hideous disease that often strikes
people down in the prime of their life. The aggressive nature of this cancer
means that a diagnosis of glioblastoma is essentially a death sentence. Despite
the huge leaps made in cancers elsewhere in the body there has not been a
comparative improvement for patients with a glioblastoma. It is my belief that
the interventional neuroradiology community will play a critical role in
beating this disease and with this in mind I am honoured to support the much-needed
research being supported by the Brain Tumour Research Charity.”
Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone
at any age. What’s more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40
than any other cancer, yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has
been allocated to this devastating disease. We know this donation will help to
build more awareness of the charity as well as fund research into improving the
lives of those affected.
Charlie Allsebrook, community development manager for
Brain Tumour Research, said: “We’re very grateful for this generous donation to
help us continue funding vital research into brain tumours. Too many people’s
lives are being devastated by this cruel disease and we are determined to
change that, but it will only be possible by continued support of and
investment in research.”
B.R.A.I.N Conference will take place again in 2022 from 5th-8th
December at the Leonardo Royal Hotel St Pauls. You can register your interest
