How do you diagnose COVID-19 patients with neurological complications?

Researchers with the Global Covid Neurology Survey are calling on clinicians to help them better understand how neurological complications of COVID-19 are diagnosed around the world.

The project is being led by the University of Liverpool with support from World Health Organization (WHO) and World Federation of Neurology.

“We need clinicians around the world to share their experiences of how they diagnose neurological and neuropsychiatric syndromes and perceive their association with COVID-19,” said Dr Arina Tamborska, NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow in Neurology at the University of Liverpool. “Your responses will play a role in the validation of a prospective WHO clinical record form which will then be made openly available to everyone following the study’s completion.”

The survey will take up to 30 minutes to complete and involves questions about your clinical experience and several short case scenarios, describing patients with neurological complications as a result of COVID-19.

Participants will also be named as a collaborator in any publications arising from the survey.

Dr Benedict Michael, Senior Clinician Scientist Fellow at the University of Liverpool, added:  “Whether you are a neurologist or any other healthcare professional involved in the care of COVID-19 patients, your help would be greatly appreciated with this study which we hope will lead to better treatments and outcomes for patients.”

nNBV søger nyt redaktionsmedlem til gruppe E, Region Nord.

Posten skal besættes af en kommende neurolog (introlæge eller hoveduddannelseslæge) fra uddannelsesregion Nord. Man skal have mindst 1 år tilbage af speciallægeuddannelsen for at kunne søge.

Gruppe E koordinerer arbejdet med nNBVs behandlingsvejledninger indenfor epilepsi, søvnforstyrrelser, tumorer i CNS, kørekort, udvikling og graviditet, synsforstyrrelser og bevidsthedspåvirkning.

Alle med interesse kan søge. Det er ikke en forudsætning, at du har særligt forhåndskendskab til de faglige områder som er dækket af gruppe E. Det vigtigste er du har lyst og vilje til at deltage aktivt i arbejdet, der sikrer, at nNBV hele tiden møder de behov, den kliniske “virkelige” verden byder på.

Redaktionsgruppens primære opgave er løbende at vedligeholde, opdatere og sikre at de eksisterende nNBV dokumenter indenfor området er fyldestgørende for gældende nationale og internationale retningslinjer, men der pågår også et løbende arbejde med at udforme nye behandlingsvejledninger.

Posten indebærer mødeaktivitet og forberedelse, redaktionelt arbejde, evt. mulighed for forfatterskab, samt muligheden for at dygtiggøre sig fagligt og organisatorisk sammen med dine kolleger. Læs mere her

Skriv en kort ansøgning inkl. CV til nNBVpost@neuro.dk senest 05.12.2021, men gerne før. Du er også meget velkommen til at skrive, hvis du har opklarende spørgsmål.

Der er kommet dato for næste års World Congress on Controversies in Neurology (CONy). Dette afholdes i London den 24 – 27 marts 2022. Læs mere herunder eller på deres hjemmeside:

We are delighted to invite you to the 16^th World Congress on Controversies in Neurology CONy to be held in London, UK, March 24-27 ,2022.

CONy provides a much needed forum to illuminate contested areas in neurology and in treatment of neurological diseases. While most conferences are generally informative, there is often only limited time for thorough and critical discussions, particularly on still unresolved issues.

CONy provides a platform for international experts to discuss and compare experience, thus closing the gap between the expansion of knowledge and its dissemination and use. By having this debate style structure, the congress has become a major annual event for members of the neurological community and its allies.

The popularity and increasing relevance of the topics and debates explored during this annual congress has bore many other offshoot meetings. All our participants are encouraged to take an active role in the Congress by engaging faculty members in an open and unique environment and voting on debates in each session. Abstracts for presentations are also welcome and will be discussed in person by our faculty.

We do hope you will join us for this high level educational Congress and excellent networking opportunity.

We look forward to welcoming you to London for CONy 2022!
