      Executive Page Dear EAN members, dear friends, It is my pleasure to give you an update on behalf of the EAN Scientific Committee following a busy year since my appointment as chair. It has been a privilege to be so deeply involved in the scientific activities of the EAN and to work closely with an amazing community of people who are so dedicated to the advancement of neurology. One of the strongest threads within that community is the EAN’s group of Scientific Panels, which are often referred to as the organisation’s ‘scientific backbone’. The panels have a hand in everything the EAN does from a scientific point of view, including coordinating clinical research, disseminating good practice, assisting in planning the EAN annual congress, supporting the EAN’s educational efforts, and producing guidelines that assist neurologists in daily practice. All of this work requires a considerable amount of oversight, and this is why each panel is run by its own Management Group, elected by the panel members. Being a part of one of these Management Groups (PDF) is an opportunity to play a direct part in determining the direction of scientific progress within Europe, and I am excited to say that the call for applications to stand for election will be announced in September. All panel members and EAN individual members are eligible to apply to be candidates, with the vote being held among the existing panel members in autumn. I would like to urge every neurologist with a passion for the scientific future of their special area of interest to consider standing for election to the relevant Management Group and to look out for the call for applications later this month. I can tell you from personal experience that fulfilling a role such as this within the structure of the EAN is a fascinating and extremely rewarding experience. The chance to take on such a unique leadership position should not be missed! The most satisfying aspect of being involved in the EAN’s organisational structure is surely seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition when a small idea evolves into a newly launched project. One such example is the 1st EAN Science School, taking place in Salzburg next March. The idea of the Science School is to offer early career neurologists with an interest in translational research a new avenue for learning about basic pathomechanisms of neurological disorders. Application for this very first edition, on ‘Pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system’, closed last week and we have been delighted with the level of interest. It was a pleasure to be part of the task force in charge of planning this new project and I look forward to seeing it officially transferred to the hands of the Scientific Committee after a successful event and evaluation in spring. Of our ongoing activities, one of the most significant is the EAN Neuro-covid Registry, which aims to collate epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments. We currently have 1,542 patients entered in the database, from 35 centres across 23 countries. So far, 29 patients have been followed for 12 months and 387 have completed the 6-months follow up. This is a decent start, but I would like to strongly encourage EAN members and their institutions to get involved and contribute cases to what will become an invaluable resource for neurologists and clinicians to improve care for Covid-19 patients. Finally, I would like share a word on a forthcoming collaboration between EAN and the Human Brain Project in December, that I think will interest a lot of EAN members. The EAN-EBRAINS joint workshop on ‘The future of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences’ will be a three-day virtual event that aims to discuss issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. The whole workshop is completely free of charge and registration is open until 25 November, so please check out the details and sign up! I wish you all a healthy and pleasant autumn and I look forward to updating you again. Best wishes Thomas Berger Chair of the EAN Scientific Committee

I would like to urge every neurologist with a passion for the scientific future of their special area of interest to consider standing for election to the relevant Management Group and to look out for the call for applications later this month. I can tell you from personal experience that fulfilling a role such as this within the structure of the EAN is a fascinating and extremely rewarding experience. The chance to take on such a unique leadership position should not be missed! The most satisfying aspect of being involved in the EAN’s organisational structure is surely seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition when a small idea evolves into a newly launched project. One such example is the 1st EAN Science School, taking place in Salzburg next March. The idea of the Science School is to offer early career neurologists with an interest in translational research a new avenue for learning about basic pathomechanisms of neurological disorders. Application for this very first edition, on ‘Pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system’, closed last week and we have been delighted with the level of interest. It was a pleasure to be part of the task force in charge of planning this new project and I look forward to seeing it officially transferred to the hands of the Scientific Committee after a successful event and evaluation in spring. Of our ongoing activities, one of the most significant is the EAN Neuro-covid Registry, which aims to collate epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments. We currently have 1,542 patients entered in the database, from 35 centres across 23 countries. So far, 29 patients have been followed for 12 months and 387 have completed the 6-months follow up. This is a decent start, but I would like to strongly encourage EAN members and their institutions to get involved and contribute cases to what will become an invaluable resource for neurologists and clinicians to improve care for Covid-19 patients. Finally, I would like share a word on a forthcoming collaboration between EAN and the Human Brain Project in December, that I think will interest a lot of EAN members. The EAN-EBRAINS joint workshop on ‘The future of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences’ will be a three-day virtual event that aims to discuss issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. The whole workshop is completely free of charge and registration is open until 25 November, so please check out the details and sign up! I wish you all a healthy and pleasant autumn and I look forward to updating you again. Best wishes Thomas Berger Chair of the EAN Scientific Committee

Country of the month: Ireland

October 1, 2016

Ireland: island of saints and scholars. Although in the interests of full disclosure not all of its 5 million inhabitants are necessarily either saintly or scholarly, the visitor to its shores will certainly find many footprints of Ireland’s tradition of folklore and stories. The island’s temperate climate is nourished by the Gulf Stream, turning the landscape into a lush green onto which are embedded imprints of Ireland’s cultural past, typified by the extraordinary Neolithic tomb at Newgrange.

At this site, which dates from 3000BC and hence older than the Pyramids of Egypt, uniquely on the shortest day of the year, a shaft of dawn sunlight penetrates the chamber to its innermost wall. Many of Ireland’s geological splendors are woven into legends; the spectacular rock formation of the Giant’s Causeway evokes stories of one of our greatest legendary heroes, Fionn MacCumhail, who sought to build a causeway to fight a rival giant in Scotland by flinging rocks into the sea. Both Newgrange and the Giant’s Causeway are World Heritage Sites.

Ireland’s beautiful landscape as well as its turbulent history is reflected in its literature, and we boast a proud tradition of prose, poetry and music. While Nobel laureates in literature include WB Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett and Seamus Heaney, one cannot escape the litany of other literary giants such as Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Sean O’Casey, JM Synge and others. The first language of Ireland is Gaelic, which although still spoken by the minority, is enjoying a robust revival. There is renewed interest in our Celtic origins and traditions, which have contributed to a rich tapestry of traditional music and song.

Ireland has a strong tradition also in the biological sciences and Medicine.

The Royal College of Physicians (RCPI.ie) was founded in 1654 and enjoyed something of a “Golden Age” of noteworthy physicians in the mid 1800’s with the likes of Robert Graves, William Stokes and Dominic Corrigan. Eminent Irish neurologists have included Robert Bentley Todd and Gordon Holmes. The historical focal point of neurological and neurosurgical services was based at the Richmond Hospital, and it was here that pioneering epilepsy surgery protocols were developed, due in large part to the influence of the late Dr Hugh Staunton.

 

There are seven medical schools in Ireland, six in the Republic of Ireland and one in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The oldest medical school is Trinity College Dublin, founded in 1711, closely followed by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland founded in 1784. The youngest school is the University of Limerick (2007), which offers only a graduate-entry programme.

There are currently approximately 35 neurologists in the Republic of Ireland, serving a population of nearly 5 million; this equates to approximately 1 neurologist per 120,000 population, one of lowest ratios in Europe.
Training in Neurology in the Republic of Ireland is coordinated by the National Specialist Training Scheme under the auspices of the RCPI. Entry to the scheme requires completion of at least 2 years’ basic specialty training in General Internal Medicine, culminating in passing an examination towards membership of the RCPI, or equivalent examination. The Neurology Specialist Training programme is a five-year scheme, of which one year is dedicated to research, and candidates are encouraged to enroll into an MD or PhD research programme. Neurology training in Northern Ireland is coordinated by the Northern Ireland Medical and Dentistry Training Agency.

 

Academic neuroscience in Ireland is coordinated by the Irish Institute of Clinical Neurosciences (IICN.ie.). The IICN supports both educational and research initiatives by organizing neuroscience meetings through which researchers and trainees can present their research. The Irish Neurological Association rotates its annual meeting throughout the whole island of Ireland, and held its 50th meeting in 2014 at the Titanic Centre Belfast.

Dublin has hosted a number of international neurology congresses including ECTRIMS 2001 and the Association of British Neurologists (ABN) 2009, both chaired by Professor Michael Hutchinson (St. Vincent’s University Hospital, Dublin). The International Movement Disorders Society (MDS) held its annual meeting also in Dublin in 2012, chaired by Professor Timothy Lynch (Dublin Neurological Institute). The British and Irish chapters of the ILAE are due to meet in Dublin in October 2016, under the chairmanship of Professor Norman Delanty (Beaumont Hospital, Dublin).
The 27th International Symposium on ALS/MND will be held in Dublin between 7-9 December 2016. The Clinical Research Meeting will be chaired by Professor Orla Hardiman Trinity College Dublin,while the Biomedical research Meeting will be chaired by Jochen Prehn, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.

 

Despite recent economic challenges, which have impacted both healthcare provision and academic endeavors in neuroscience research in Ireland, the country boasts a thriving neuroscience community with an emerging international reputation in both teaching and research. Anyone contemplating training in clinical neurology or in the neuroscience in Ireland will find an energetic, modern academic milieu surrounded by the intoxicating landscape and culture of a unique island.

 

by Dr. Timothy Counihan, Istitutional Delegate of the Irish Institute of Clinical Neuroscience to the EAN.
