Welcome to the Neurology Website

This site replaces the Action On Neurology website and provides information about the outcomes from the Action On Neurology programme, summarised in the report Improving Neurology Services – a practical guide.

Delivering well co-ordinated patient centred neurology services is challenging as people with neurological conditions often have complex needs requiring a range of services and support from different professionals and agencies.

The National Service Framework for Long Term Conditions (NSF) published in March 2005 describes a set of core principles in the form of Evidence Based Quality Requirements, which are designed to address the needs of people living with long term neurological conditions.

The Action On Neurology report links the outcomes and lessons learnt by the pilot sites to the relevant NSF Quality Requirements to support the implementation of the NSF and gives ideas about how to go about redesigning services. Many examples of good practice can also be found in the NSF Good Practice Guide.

See the Neurology Collaboration area to find out more about the Action On Neurology pilot sites and some of the tools they have developed to improve their services:
