Neurological Framework Funding: list of organisations funded

List of funding recipients to support the implementation of the Neurological care and support: framework for action 2020 to 2025.


Overview

This publication provides information on projects funded through the neurological care and support: framework for action - 2020 to 2025

The framework aims to ensure people can access personalised care and support regardless of their condition or where in Scotland they live. Over five years, we are investing £4.5 million of funding to deliver the framework’s commitments.

The Scottish Government and the Neurological Alliance of Scotland co-hosted five practice sharing sessions in December 2022 and March 2023, via MS Teams, to help to showcase and promote innovative work funded under the framework.

These will be of interest to anyone from the statutory or third sector that works in, or with an interest in improving neurology services.

You can view recordings of all five sessions on YouTube

Projects are grouped into the following broad categories:

You can read more about the funded projects in each of the category pages. We have listed the financial year the project was awarded funding in. In some cases the project spend may extend beyond the financial year of the award.
