The Neurological Alliance of Ireland, the national umbrella for over thirty neurological charities, commissioned research between August 2022 and February 2023 involving people with neurological conditions and family carers, service providers and health professionals.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the incorporation of the Neurological Alliance of Ireland as a registered charity. Starting with a small group of six organisations, NAI has secured a niche as a united and expert voice on neurological care through advocacy, policy development, and awareness raising. Our membership has grown to over thirty organisations working on behalf of the over 800,000 Irish people living with neurological conditions.
NAI launched their 5 year Strategic Plan at an event this week to mark the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Neurological Alliance of Ireland. The event, attended by NAI members and stakeholders including representatives from across the health services, neuroscience research and neurological services, also celebrated the partnership between the patient umbrella and Professor Orla Hardiman as she prepares to step down from a five year term as National Clinical Lead for Neurology.
