Make your voice heardThis autumn, a new neurological patient experience survey opened. It aims to gather information about your experiences of treatment and care, social care and welfare as someone with a neurological condition. The Neurological Alliance survey aims to collect enough data to positively influence future neurology services. To share your views, use the link below. The deadline is 17 January 2019. New celebrity supporterRosie Millard OBE, journalist and chief executive of charity Children & the Arts and chair of Children in Need, has just come on board as one of our Headliners. She is full of praise for the staff at The National Hospital after she recently underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour. After the operation she told us, "Queen Square is probably the best place in the world to have your brain treated. The care, expertise and kindness here is exemplary". We are delighted she wants to support us – you can catch her reading at our carol concert in December. For more events, personal stories and how you can get involved, please visit |
