About brainstrust
brainstrust is a UK based brain cancer charity, dedicated to improving clinical care for brain tumour sufferers and providing co-ordinated support in their search for treatment. We provide support and advice at the point of diagnosis and beyond, by updating treatment, improving care and, ultimately, saving lives.
brainstrust – good for brains, bad for brain tumours
Our mission
brainstrust is a charity that offers a unique support service to people who are coping with brain cancer.
We provide pragmatic support and advice from the point of diagnosis. We can do this because of our experience battling brain cancer, our unique network of advisors, and our supporters in the medical, scientific and nursing community.
This resource translates into real, improved clinical outcomes for our patients.
brainstrust believes that we’re none of us as smart as all of us and so we really value and nurture our team. Everyone that joins the brainstrust crew is passionate and committed to the cause.
