Cheshire and Merseyside hospitals have been declared Centres of Excellence for the treatment of brain tumours.
The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and The Walton Centre have been given the status by the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission (TJBCM) after a very thorough vetting process.
Another centre, the North Wales Cancer Treatment Centre, was also included in the citation.
The TJBCM has led a national assessment of brain cancer centres, backed up by patient feedback.
The TJBCM assessors were impressed by how closely the three centres work together to make sure people with brain cancer receive seamless care throughout what can be a very complex treatment journey involving diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
