We talked to Headsmart. The only dedicated campaign which works on raising awareness for the signs of a brain tumour. Especially the symptoms of brain tumour in children and teenagers. This is done by equipping parents, the public and healthcare professionals with the information they need. Headsmart is part of The Brain Tumour Charity. Their goal is to reduce average diagnosis times of brain tumours to four weeks or less in line with NHS targets. Identifying tumours early reduces the chance of a child developing long term disabilities and can ultimately save their life. Sadly 10 children and teenagers are diagnosed with a brain tumour every week in the UK, that's more than one a day. This is why these symptoms cards about the signs of a brain tumour are life changing. Don't forget to check out the Aunty M Brain Tumours Website.
