ViewSite Brain Access System (VBAS) for the surgical management of deep brain lesions

Equality considerations

NICE is committed to promoting equality of opportunity, eliminating unlawful discrimination and fostering good relations between people with particular protected characteristics and others.

The ViewSite Brain Access System (VBAS) can be used for people with brain cancer. Cancer is recognised as a disability. The risk of getting a brain tumour increases with age. But some types of brain tumour are more common in children. Age and disability are protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.
