We are delighted to share the news that the NAI project "The Right Care in the Right Place: A National Call for Neurology Care", supported by Sanofi and Etch Communications, has been shortlisted for the 2026 Irish Healthcare Awards in the Patient Advocacy Project of the Year category.
The report found evidence of significant gaps in neurology services, and it played a key role in our pre budget campaign. It was based on a nationwide survey of neurology centres, a series of lived experience focus groups and interviews with neurospecialists highlights regional disparities, staffing deficits and gaps in multidisciplinary care across neurology services.
The report outlines a series of recommendations based on the findings and in line with the 2016 Model of Care for Neurology Services in Ireland
1) Deliver equitable neurology services across the hospital network
2) Address critical staffing shortages, particularly in specialist nursing and multidisciplinary teams
3) Invest in neurorehabilitation and long-term community supports for people with neurological conditions
