National Brain Awareness Week 2026 takes place from March 16th to March 22nd, and is currently supported by over 50 patient organisations, research groups and the wider neurological community. It is an annual awareness initiative which aims to promote greater awareness of the brain and brain conditions, as well as the need for more investment in services, research and prevention. The Neurological Alliance of Ireland has led the way in promoting and co-ordinating the week throughout Ireland since 2005. 
Our 2026 Toolkit is available to download and is packed full of promotional materials and information that can be used across social media pages and websites. Get involved and follow the conversation at #BRAINAWARENESSWEEK2026
#MYNEUROLOGYNURSEANDME is our national awareness initiative which will run throughout and alongside Brain Awareness Week. This initiative highlights the vital role of nurse specialists in neurology care. Specialist neurology nurses are at heart of neurological services, proving expert clinical support, educating and empowering patients and improving outcomes for people with neurological conditions.
