Our research and reports
1. My Neuro Survey: The most recent iteration of the My Neuro Survey closed on the 15 November 2024. This is the largest patient experience survey of people affected by neurological conditions, including friends and family, in the UK.

Policy Work
Where there are policies or strategic plans that are pan-neurological, the Neurological Alliance of Scotland works with our membership through our Policy Group to create a response. As and when we submit a consultation response, we will put the information up on this page here.
- In February 2025, NAoS submitted an open letter to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, Neil Gray MSP, regarding our concerns over the loss of a neurology framework for Scotland. The letter was endorsed by 34 member charities. You can read our letter here.
- In February 2025, NAoS submitted a recommendation to the UK Spending Review on behalf of the Neurological Alliances of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland outlining the disparity in funding for neurological condition research and calling for the UK Government to prioritise neurological conditions in research investment.
