Valentine’s day is almost here, and we want to hear from you so we can spread a little love. Are you grateful to The National Hospital? Do you have a brilliant doctor here or did you have a fantastic surgeon? Let’s not forget the nurses, OTs, the therapists and all the behind-the-scenes staff who work so hard to make the hospital the centre of excellence it is.

To celebrate Valentine’s we want you tell us about someone special at The National so we can give them a shout-out. We’d love to see your messages on our Facebook page, or on Twitter (tag your tweet using @BrainAppeal). If you’d prefer you can email us before Saturday and we’ll do our best to post your messages on our social media accounts on the day. We’ll also try to pass all your messages on!

The deadline for RideLondon (taking place on 1/2 August) is drawing near – and your last chance to apply to ride for #TeamBrainAppeal is 27 March. It’s a hugely popular race, so don’t leave it til the last minute to register your interest!

The National Hospital has set up its first-ever patient and carer forum – and they want to hear from you. As the hospital is constantly striving to be the best it can possibly be, the forum is a place you can share your experiences and suggest ways to improve the overall service offered to patients.

The launch night takes place on Thursday 26 February from 6-7.30pm, here at Queen Square. To get your voice heard and be a part of shaping the future of the services at one of the UK’s leading neurological hospitals, email to register your place.
