As a healthcare professional, you will work with us to grow the neuroscience workforce and accurately reflect experiences of care. We provide the evidence you need to make the case for improvements to staffing and services nationally and in your area.
If you are a policymaker
As policymakers, we will work with you to make sure your policies support people affected by neurological conditions to live independently, and challenge you when policy falls short of achieving this. We will provide the high quality data you need to make strong evidence-based decisions.
