Shine's NPH Team

If you have Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, live with or care for someone who does, or are a professional providing support - we’re here to help.

In September 2025, Shine created a standalone service to support a growing membership of individuals living with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and to raise awareness amongst professionals and the public about the symptoms of NPH and importance of an early and accurate diagnosis.

 

NPH Services at Shine

Shine provides a wide range of free, confidential services for people at all stages of assessment, diagnosis, or treatment for NPH.

Personalised information and advice: our team are experienced advisers who understand NPH - its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options such as shunt surgery, and ways to live well with the condition.

Support for family and carers: Carers and family members can access advice, guidance, and emotional support, recognising the wider impact  of NPH.

Practical guidance and advocacy: Navigating health and social care systems, preparing for medical appointments, understanding your rights, and managing mobility, continence, and cognition changes.

Connecting with others: Shine offers opportunities to connect with people who have similar experiences, helping to reduce feelings of isolation.

 

NPH Support for Professionals

In addition - for the health-care professionals in your life – our CPD accredited e-learning course on Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus can be accessed from the Professionals area of the Shine website to give professionals a more detailed insight into the condition.
