With you

The Neurological Alliance of Scotland is an umbrella body of organisations and groups representing people living with or affected by a neurological condition. We are always interested in your experiences of what really matters to you when you receive services from health, social services or the voluntary sector or self manage your condition. Contact us if you wish to share your story to help others or find out more about getting involved in influencing NHS service delivery via our Neurological Voices training programme.

You may be interested in the common issues and experiences of people affected by neurological conditions or wish to find out more about what is important when delivering Neurological Health Services.

With members

The Alliance enables neurological organisations/groups to campaign together and speak with an influential voice. We work in partnership with our member organisations to inform policy, raise awareness and support improvements in services.

The Alliance Manifesto was developed in consultation with the Alliance member organisations. We are calling for the Scottish Government to support this important Manifesto and improve the lives of the many people in Scotland affected by neurological conditions

You may wish to join us in our ongoing work toward our vision or find out more about the current work of the Alliance.

With professionals

We work to ensure the views and experiences of people affected by neurological conditions are fed back to the professionals delivering services.

In December 2010, the Government announced plans to replace Disability Living Allowance with a new benefit: the Personal Independence Payment (PIP). The policy objective of PIP is to act as a “more active and enabling benefit that supports disabled people to overcome the barriers they face to leading full and independent lives.”1 This aim is most welcome, but there is great concern over particular aspects of the Government’s plans for reform. The results were published in November 2011. You can read the full Report here.
