Brain Tumour UK Conference 
14 – 15 July 2008
Join us at our new venue!
Aiming for a ‘better innings for patients’ the conference is a great opportunity to meet informally with patients and carers, medical professionals and others. We are going to a new venue this year in Birmingham where we shall be taking over the conference centre at Edgbaston Cricket Ground. Low-cost overnight accommodation is available at a nearby hotel.
