Well done to ARC NWC Public Adviser Sandra Smith, who recently visited the Houses of Parliament and met several MPs, while representing ARC NWC Member The Brain Charity, for the launch of “It’s all in your head” report. The Brain Charity surveyed more than 800 people with neurological conditions to learn about their diagnosis experiences from their first concerns to life after a diagnosis.

Three key themes have emerged from the report: long waits for diagnosis, a lack of information and support and a negative impact on mental health after diagnosis.

While discussing the journey to and impact of a neurological condition diagnosis, Sandra took the opportunity to share research she had undertaken and published with ARC NWC and its members.
