The INNF was established in December 2022 by a group of volunteer specialist neurology nurses in response to a need:
- To represent and promote the vital role of nurses working in neurology throughout Ireland.
- To provide mutual support and advice through continuing educational activities and the promotion of evidence based practice research and sharing of best practices.
- To collaborate with other professional and voluntary organisations across the discipline of neurology on issues related to patient advocacy, services, policies and guidelines to support excellence in practice.
- To provide opportunities to network locally, nationally and internationally.
- To ensure the provision of patient centered quality care.
