The Northern Ireland Cerebral Palsy Register (NICPR) commenced its work in 1992 and it is one of the longest standing registers in Europe. The two aims of the NICPR are to establish a systematic approach to the surveillance of CP among children in NI. Secondly the Register supports research and audits into the condition, covering aetiology, treatment and assessment as well as health and social care services.

This report summarises the work of the NICPR. It presents findings of the cumulative work done by the Register since 1992, which involved collecting data, monitoring and surveillance activities as well as research conducted in collaborations national and internationally.  A copy of the Full Report is available via the link below:
