Representing all people in West Berkshire affected by a neurological condition
Welcome to the new WBNA website. We were unable to resurrect the previous website (wbna.org.uk) for a number of reasons and would like to apologise for any inconvenience arising.
If you would like to contact the WBNA please complete the contact form below and we will get back to you promptly.
We have deliberately omitted to include Committee members e-mail addresses in order to avoid unnecessary spam traffic.
Please find below updates on our current activities:
After a period of relative inactivity, we are in the process of rebuilding our networks.
We have commenced doing this in the Berkshire West Area – i.e. the local authority areas of Reading, Wokingham and West Berkshire.
We will publish contact details of local and national support groups on the “ Specific neurological conditions “ page on this website.
We are also trying to develop a network of similar organisations across the entire BOB (Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West) ICS area in order to improve communications with relevant managers in the ICS and, if necessary, NHS South East Strategic Commissioning.
We are part of the national Neurological Alliance which has a voice at the table in discussions with NHSE and the Department of Health on behalf of all the major UK Charities with an interest in neurological conditions. see www.neural.org.uk
Sept 2024
Every two years, the national Alliance launches a major survey of the experiences of people with neurological conditions and their carers. The last survey in 2021/22 had more than 9000 responses. Armed with the evidence provided by those responses, the Alliance was able to influence the government and NHSE and convince them make beneficial changes such as setting up the Neuro taskforce.
The 2024 survey is live now and will close on November 15th. For anyone with a neurological condition or their carers this is your opportunity to make a difference. Details are set out in the “ Further Information “ section of this site and we would urge you to access this before completing the survey.
For those that can’t wait, the survey can be accessed directly from this link. https://revealingreality.welcomesyourfeedback.net/w2a6jx
