New optimal pathway for adults with neurological conditions launched

Richard_Scope

The mental health optimal clinical pathway for adults with neurological conditions has now been published. The pathway is the latest in a series which has been developed by clinical leads with support from National Neuroscience Advisory Group (NNAG) members, patient groups and people affected by neurological conditions, setting out elements of good care across the clinical pathway. The pathways allow clinical directors, service managers, local commissioners, the voluntary sector, people affected by neurological conditions and anyone with an interest in improving services to assess the availability of key services in their area. Thank you to everyone involved in the development of the pathways. This is the final pathway to be published by NNAG. It sits alongside a suite of cross-cutting and condition-focused pathways available to access below. The guidance in these pathways informs the Specialised Neurology Services Service Specification for adults with neurological conditions published by NHS England in August 2025.

The current NHS is completely out of date regarding Neurological Conditions, and fails to provide the required support.

This is partly due to the previous governments threat to sack any NHS staff willing to publicly discuss, assess, diagnose, and provide the requires support for those of us who have neurological conditions such as Auditory Processing Disorder, the listening disability, which is the main underlying cognitive cause of Specific Language Impairment (recently remarketed ad Developmental Language Disorder), and Developmental Dyslexia symptoms.

All of may family have a clinical diagnosis of having Auditory Processing Disorder, our now 3 adult sons, my wife and me, and possibly our grand children, but we have never got any of the much needed lifelong support post diagnosis. We are surround ed by frauds claiming to be medical professionals :- Audiologists, Speech and Language Pathologists, and Psychologists who are decades of of date with the related international research that explains our disability and our support needs.
