Abstract
This paper explores a range of issues related to neurological care. The scope and scale of neurological conditions is described in order to illustrate disparities in research funding and care delivery as compared with cancer and cardiovascular disease. Financial implications, ethical issues and health service development are outlined as a context for the state of the art of neurological nursing. Areas for potential neurological nursing research are identified. Finally, it is argued that policy and research must be linked if neurological care, research and education are to receive greater resource allocation.
