🌍 March: Brain Tumour Awareness Month 🌍
🔬 The Challenge of Brain Tumours
March marks Brain Tumor Awareness Month in the UK, a time dedicated to raising awareness about one of the most complex and least understood cancers. Despite medical advancements, brain tumors remain a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children and adults under 40, with survival rates lagging behind other forms of cancer (Macmillan Cancer Support, 2025).
A brain tumour is a mass of abnormal cells growing in the brain. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), but both types can significantly impact brain function due to their location.
Key statistics:
📌 Over 12,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with a primary brain tumour each year.
📌 Brain tumours are responsible for more years of life lost than any other cancer due to their high impact on young people (Macmillan Cancer Support, 2025).
📌 Survival rates have barely improved in over 40 years, emphasising the need for further research and innovation.
🧠 Early Detection & Diagnosis: The Key to Better Outcomes
Early detection can make a critical difference in treatment success. However, symptoms of brain tumours can be vague and often resemble other conditions, leading to late diagnoses.
🚨 Common symptoms include:
- Persistent headaches that worsen over time
- Unexplained nausea or vomiting
- Seizures or vision problems
- Memory or cognitive difficulties
🔍 According to NHS Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, understanding the symptoms and seeking medical advice early can improve diagnostic outcomes (NHS Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, 2025).
Building a Healthier Future Together
Brain tumour treatment remains one of the most underfunded areas of cancer research. However, recent breakthroughs in AI, precision medicine, and immunotherapy are providing hope.
Promising innovations include:
✅ AI-driven diagnostics: Advanced machine learning models are improving tumour detection in MRI scans.
✅ Targeted therapies: Precision medicine allows for tailored treatments based on genetic tumour profiles.
✅ Immunotherapy: Researchers are exploring new ways to boost the immune system’s response to brain tumours.
🚀 Collaboration between biotech firms, research institutions, and clinical trial networks is crucial in accelerating these innovations.
🤝 How We Can Make a Difference
At Azurite Health, we are committed to supporting advancements in clinical research, technology-driven healthcare solutions, and equitable access to treatments. Brain tumour research needs more funding, collaboration, and patient-centred innovation to create real change.
🔹 Support brain tumour research initiatives
🔹 Advocate for more funding in neuroscience and oncology
🔹 Raise awareness about early detection
Let’s work together this March to raise awareness, spread knowledge, and empower everyone to prioritize their health. Together, we can make a difference. 🌟

Protecting Our Community: Join Azurite Health in Supporting the NHS Flu and Shingles Vaccination Programmes
Azurite Health is committed to promoting community health by supporting vital public health initiatives like the NHS Flu and Shingles Vaccination Programmes. As we enter flu season, it's important to remember that these vaccines are crucial for preventing severe illness and safeguarding our community’s well-being.
Flu, in particular, can spread quickly and lead to serious complications, especially among older adults, young children, and those with pre-existing conditions. The NHS offers free flu vaccines to those at higher risk, including people aged 65 and over, pregnant women, and individuals with long-term health conditions. By getting your flu vaccine, you not only protect yourself but also help reduce the strain on the NHS during the winter months.
At the same time, we also continue to support the NHS Shingles Vaccination Programme. Shingles can cause severe pain and long-term complications, especially in older adults. The NHS offers a free shingles vaccine to those aged 70 to 79 to help prevent this condition. Getting vaccinated not only protects you from shingles but also helps keep our community healthy and strong.
We encourage everyone who qualifies to take advantage of these vaccination opportunities. Together, we can protect ourselves and our community from flu and shingles this season.
For more information on eligibility and vaccination sites, please visit the official NHS website:
Let’s work together for a healthier future by supporting the NHS vaccination programmes.
