The profile of Brain Awareness Week continues to grow year on year as a dedicated awareness raising opportunity, which brings the neurological community together throughout Ireland. Did you know that it is estimated that 1 in 3 of us will develop a neurological condition in our lifetime and that the cost of neurological disorders in Europe alone is 336 billion euro annually and growing? When faced with the reality of these figures, the theme that NAI adopted for Brain Awareness Week 2023 was, 'Invest In Brain Health'.

The theme provided a wealth of opportunity for NAI, NAI members and the much wider community to highlight current advocacy campaigns, profile specific at risk groups or promote awareness of individual services or initiatives aimed at meeting the needs of people with neurological conditions.

Brain Awareness Week is one of our key campaigns throughout the year and the preparation and planning starts months in advance. 2023 was no different. Our Outcomes Report is a brief rundown of what happened throughout the week, from awareness raising, education and advocacy, to media, events and partnerships.
