Most neurologists used to carry out few practical procedures beyond the neurological examination which one of us has already discussed in this Forum (https://www.eanpages.org/?p=1443). This is changing. Some undertake diagnostic procedures such as electrophysiology, ultrasonography, nerve, muscle and now skin biopsies.

Through the EFNS fellowship, I was able to carry out my project “Cerebral ischaemia measured using MRI spectroscopy (cerebral ischaemia study)” at the Acute Stroke research unit, Western Infirmary, Glasgow, UK chaired by Prof. Kennedy Lees. Doing this research from an interdisciplinary perspective has been a novel approach and I’m grateful I was able to begin my involvement with EFNS Scientific Fellowship at this stage in my career.

For a period of 6 months, supported by the EFNS educational fellowship, I spent an amazing and enriching period of my life at the Child Neurology Department, Hospital San Joan De Deu, Barcelona, Spain, with Dr. A. Garcia Cazorla’s research team.

After the Christmas and New Year festivities, it is time to think of the standard of care we provide for our patients on holidays and at weekends. A day of rest, Friday, Saturday or Sunday, is built into the Muslim, Jewish and Christian week.

On behalf of the German Neurological Society I am pleased to invite you to the 1st Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), taking place in Berlin from 20 to 23 June 2015.
