Save the date! Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Awareness Week 2025

Coming up on 19^th – 25^th May 2025 is our second annual Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) Awareness Week.

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is a condition that mainly affects individuals over 60 years of age. It is most commonly recognised by the onset of three symptoms: increased difficulty walking, cognitive changes, and bladder and bowel concerns. NPH can present in a similar way to other conditions experienced by older adults, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. NPH, a potentially reversible form of dementia, could account for around 6% of individuals living with dementia and should be considered as a possible cause.

This year, we will be hosting our second annual NPH Awareness Week during the week of May 19^th to shine light on this condition in the hope that more people will recognise these symptoms and seek an early and accurate diagnosis.​

Events

We have a few events taking place during the week, some of which are now available to book here.
