These include; government departments - Health, Social Services, Employment and Education, Universities, multi-national pharmaceutical companies, national charities, medical royal colleges and nursing associations.

NeuroEducation is an independent national organisation that complements existing services and is helping to meet the growing need for high quality neurological education and research.
