Over one hundred delegates registered for the NAI keynote conference for National Brain Awareness Week "Securing Resources for Neurological Care and Rehabilitation in a Recession" on Tuesday 6th March in the Radisson Hotel Dublin
Opening the conference, Mr Chris Macey, Chair of NAI, spoke of the effectiveness of non statutory organisations as advocates for change, as service providers and as key partners in transforming neurological care services.
This was followed by presentations from the clinical directors of each of the national programmes in:
