Association of British Neurologists
The Association of British Neurologists is a professional organisation founded in 1932 and expanded to include overseas membership in 1937.[1] The Association produces guidelines for the treatment of neurological conditions.[2]
Members
At 31 December 2014 there were 740 ordinary members, 204 senior members, 24 honorary members, 50 honorary foreign members, 70 overseas members, 385 associate members and 29 affiliate members.[3] It is an active member of the Neurological Alliance and holds an annual conference.[4] The current (2017 - 2019) President is Mary Reilly.[5]
In December 2014, the Association produced a national study of neurological services in 195 acute hospitals, which compared their services against the best practice standards set by the association.[6] It showed “dramatic” variations in access to daily neurological consultations. None of the hospitals where neurologists were based provided seven-day access to consultants, and only 49% provided access to consultants 5 days per week.[7]
