      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

      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

COVID-19 – RRFS representative report: Georgia

May 5, 2020

Impact of COVID in Neurology Training

I am Nina Khizanishvili, a young neurologist from Tbilisi, Georgia. I currently work in Germany but I still get a lot of information about the situation in the First University Clinic of Tbilisi State Medical University in my home country.

Please tell us about your experience with the current COVID-19 pandemic in your hospital?

First of all we have prepared the whole clinic and staff for Covid-19 cases. Our clinic is Georgia’s largest centre in fighting against Covid-19: There are currently 94 patients from the 416 active cases in Georgia being treated in our hospital. We and our colleagues in other hospitals follow the standards set by the WHO regarding Covid-19. Moreover, the doctors as well as other medical staff members who have primary contact with Covid-19 patients left their families and isolated themselves to protect their family members against disease.

The Neurology Department of the First University Clinic usually deals with both inpatient and outpatient clinical practice, research, clinical trials and of course teaching. Now, the Neurology inpatient service as well as the rest of the First University inpatient departments serve only Covid-19 inpatients. We have online and phone consultations for our outpatients. We visit patients at home if needed including visits within Clinical Trials. The professors and lecturers of Tbilisi State Medical University also perform online lectures and students do their exams through an online system. The residents in neurology and the neurologists on duty still continue coming to the clinic and work with potential or confirmed Covid-19 patients.

What is the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic on your neurological training?

The neurology staff continue to work.  However, admission of patients with neurological problems as well the neurologists and residents treating them are distributed throughout other clinics. Neurology trainees as well as all the staff also continue to work in our department. We continue to provide emergency and urgent care to neurological patients, but in other clinics and with more protective equipment. Indeed, severe and potentially fatal neurological emergencies do not stop because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have not received any neurological patients with Covid-19; neither have the patients in our hospitals with Covid-19 exhibited any neurological symptoms or diseases. However, we are ready in case a Covid-19 patient with an accompanying neurological disease comes into our department and are also ready to support our colleagues in internal medicine and the intensive care unit when needed.

What are the three most important key learning points from your overall COVID experience?

Between February 26th and April 23rd 2020, we have had 420 confirmed Covid-19 cases in Georgia. The low morbidity rate is a great credit to the Government of Georgia, who have put in huge effort to protect the citizens and residents of Georgia against the virus, as well as to return Georgian citizens from all over the world back home, and to organize treatment infrastructure for patients.  

In support of the Government of Georgia, there have been 12 specialized clinics prepared that work at full capacity for Covid-19 patients. Among them are six clinics in Tbilisi and the other 6 are spread across the different regions of Georgia. Other Covid-19 clinics are currently being prepared.  

There is a toll-free hotline (144) set up by the government that provides information on permissions and restrictions during the state of emergency.

The Government of Georgia was one of the first to begin the care of citizens living abroad; thousands of them have returned to Georgia, with charter flights organized by the Government of Georgia, including three Covid-19 patients.

I am happy to see the coordinated work between our government, doctors and people who understand the danger of spread of Covid-19 and stay home.

And I look forward to the close future without Covid-19 all over the world.
