There has been a determined effort for many years to raise the policy profile of neurology, but to date this has largely fallen on deaf ears in the government. A previous Policy article in the British Journal of Neuroscience Nursing (Thomas, 2011) described some of the lobbying that had taken place at party political conferences last year and how, in comparison to cancer, neurology continued to have a low profile even though far more people are currently living with a neurological condition than are living with cancer.
