Week 47 is the week where neurologists in Norway – from departments or private practices – try to highlight the importance of brain health as well as informing the public about neurological diseases and recent advances in diagnostics and treatment. Meetings for the public are being held as well as different events in the local communities, and Norwegian neurologists also try to make the public aware and interested in neurology and brain health through newspapers and podcast episodes.
Date: 17- 21 November
The Norwegian Neurological Association is coordinating the efforts, and true to tradition, the President, Heidi Øyen Flemmen, will make a podcast episode to be released during the week with colleague and EAN-Board member Jana Midelfart-Hoff. The theme? Brain health, of course!
