About this Event
This course is designed and put together by leaders in neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, neurology and neuro-anaesthetics with the aim of giving delegates a well rounded multidisciplinary approach to managing neuro-oncology patients. This will be ideal for SpRs in neurosurgery, oncology, neurology, radiology and anaesthetics to further their knowledge and cement their learning in the field of neuro-oncology.
