Brain Health Awareness Week 2024

3/7/2025

2 Comments

 
This Brain Awareness Week (10 - 16 March), we are sharing videos from the wider Brain Health ARC team on why research is important them.

Around one in six people in the UK have at least one neurological condition with an estimated 600,000 people diagnosed each year. A recent study found that neurological conditions are now the leading cause of ill health world wide. These conditions do not discriminate; they can affect anyone, at any age, at any time. It is likely that you or a loved one will be impacted by a neurological condition in your lifetime.

Yet despite touching so many lives, neurological research receives just 8.9% of the total health research expenditure in the UK. Researchers working in the field of neurological conditions face the prospect of losing their jobs due to insecure funding, and clinical trials are severely limited in their number. We believe this needs to change – and we need your help to make it happen.

This Brain Awareness Week, the Brain Health ARC is uniting with the Neurological Alliances across Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland to urge the UK Government to commit to meaningful, long term and sustained funding for research on neurological conditions.
