#MyNeurologyNurseAndMe
About The Campaign
#MyNeurologyNurseAndMe is a national awareness campaign led by the Neurological Alliance of Ireland (NAI) in conjunction with the Irish Neurology Nursing Forum (INNF) and supported by 14 campaign partners.
Taking place during National Brain Awareness Week (16–22 March), the campaign shines a spotlight on the vital and often under-recognised role of neurology nurse specialists in supporting people living with neurological conditions across Ireland.
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.
Campaign Goal
The goal of #MyNeurologyNurseAndMe is to promote awareness of the essential contribution that nurse specialists make to neurological care.
Neurology nurses play a central role in:
- Informing patients and families about diagnoses, treatments, and symptom management
- Enabling people to navigate complex health services and make informed decisions
- Supporting individuals and families emotionally, clinically, and practically throughout their care journey
From diagnosis to long-term management, neurology nurses are a trusted point of continuity, advocacy, and expertise for people living with neurological conditions.
Why This Campaign Matters
Over 860,000 people in Ireland are affected by a neurological condition. For many, their neurology nurse is:
- Their main point of contact within the healthcare system
- A source of reassurance and specialist knowledge
- A coordinator of care across hospital and community services
- A consistent support for both patients and carers
This campaign aims to ensure their work is recognised, valued, and understood by the public, policymakers, and the wider healthcare community.

Throughout National Brain Awareness Week, the campaign will feature:
- National and local media coverage
- Educational webinars and online events
