Mission Statement

The Federation engages in activities, which contribute to the advancement of neurology and related areas with a view to improving the quality of life of people living with neurological conditions, their families and carers.

EFNA firmly believes that partnership will bring progress for millions of people with brain disorders.

EFNA wants to promote a meaningful dialogue between science and society. It wants to widen the understanding of research from merely being a search for cures to become the provision of information about quality of life and health economics - to provide evidence which will enable policy makers to effect positive change.

Furthermore, EFNA wants to extend its partnerships from those which are already tried and tested - with clinicians, pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers - to involvement with other industries where the economic and human aspects of neurological illness also have serious effects.

Finally, EFNA wants to establish a network of Members of the European Parliament which will be cross-nation and cross-party, and will be the voice of people with neurological illnesses within the European Parliament.
