Professional Advisory Group

The Professional Advisory Group (PAG) is a group of health care professionals who volunteer to provide expert advice and support to our volunteers, committees and staff.

PAG members represent the broad spectrum of health care professionals including neurosurgeons and neuroscientists, nurses, therapists and social workers who are important to the continuum of care for each brain tumour patient and their family.

This important group helps to ensure that all of our information is reliable and current. Thank you to each member of this group, your contributions are valuable. See the entire PAG list below.
