Brain Tumour Research Campaign

📢 Exciting Announcement! ✨!!!!

We’re so proud to introduce The George Pickard Programme for Precision Brain Surgery, launched in partnership with Brain Tumour Research Campaign (BTRC).

George Pickard was a much-loved dad, brother, and friend whose life was tragically cut short by a brain tumour. 15 years on, his family have chosen to turn heartbreak into hope, creating a programme dedicated to funding vital brain tumour research and improving patient treatment.

This programme is about life-saving progress in precision brain surgery.

“In the UK, almost 13,000 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour each year (that’s 35 people each day) and this figure increases each year. Research like this truly matters.”
