Mr Vasilios Apostolopoulos

I have completed my neurosurgical training in London. I developed an early interest in surgical management of brain tumours, because I always believed that more needs to be done for patients diagnosed with brain tumours. I carried our research and completed a thesis on intraoperative integrated ultrasound in brain tumour surgery at Imperial College London. I have a also completed a Royal College of Surgeons fellowship in complex brain tumour surgery and awake surgery at Southampton University Hospital. At present I work as a Consultant in Oncological Neurosurgery, at the prestigious John Radcliffe Hospital in London.  My work is focused strictly on the management of patients with brain tumours. I carry our a high number of complex brain tumour operations and awake operations in Oxford and at Wellington Hospital in London. My work is characterised by a meticulous approach of the management of brain tumour patients to maximise safety. I always aim to involve advanced technology, and collaborate with the a group of top specialists to enhance my work. I make my self easily accessible to my patients and develop a relationship of friendship and trust, so I can make their journey through their oncological treatments as bearable as possible. I support brain tumour charity organisations, and I contribute to national and international research, so the outcome of brain tumour patient becomes better in the years to come.
