1.0 Introduction
Brain tumour refers to a health problem in which mass or growth of abnormal cells in the
brain. It includes different types of tumours present in brain including non cancerous (benign),
cancerous (malignant), primary brain tumours and metastatic brain tumours. However, it can be

their families to overcome with the same. This assignment will focus on evaluating the
development of individual skills and demonstrate individual development with evidence. It will
also include individual contribution to overall teal performance and experiences through Gibbs'
model of reflection. The areas need to develop and opportunities of learning by considering key
