Health professionals survey of sleep disturbance in brain tumour

PoCoG members  are invited to participate in an online survey of health professionals active in the care of patients with a primary malignant brain tumour or brain metastases. 

From this survey, the researchers aim to understand health professionals’ opinions about the assessment and management of sleep disturbance in these patients, as well as their caregivers. Such information will assist in understanding approaches that may help support and improve patients’ and caregivers’ sleep.
