We can provide copies of a six-panel DL brochure about our establishment and activities for inclusion in delegates' bags at conferences or placement on literature tables. Contact: secretary@theibta.org

The International Brain Tumour Alliance (IBTA) was established during the conference of the World Federation of Neuro Oncology held at Edinburgh (UK) in May 2005.

It seeks to be an alliance of the support, advocacy and information groups for brain tumour patients and carers in different countries and also includes researchers, scientists, clinicians and allied health professionals who work in the area of brain tumours.

Below: Some of the fifty people from eleven countries who attended the inaugural meeting of the IBTA held on 7 May 2005 in Edinburgh. They include people with a brain tumour, their carers, scientists, nurses, health professionals, researchers, and former carers.
