National Brain Awareness Week is an annual initiative organized in March each year by the Neurological Alliance of Ireland to promote greater awareness and understanding of the impact of living with a neurological condition as well as the need for investment in services, research and prevention. The Neurological Alliance of Ireland is the national umbrella group for neurological charities.
In Ireland, almost 800,000 people are affected by a neurological condition, and up to 1 in 8 consultations in primary care and at least 1 in 5 in emergency medical admissions to hospital are because of a neurological problem.
