@enherts @HWEfutureICS So important to hear carer feedback especially in such challenging times. Please promote widely so we can learn from their experiences. @HCTNHS

It is so important to have personalised care when adjusting to life with a brain tumour. Our team has used 32 different therapy teams and support organisations to meet the needs of the people we support. Help is out there so make sure you get it. #BrainTumourAwarenessMonth
