Need an explanation? See the Quick Introduction to clinical neurophysiology

This web site describes a personal view of clinical neurophysiology from a British perspective. Please read the Site Guide for an explanation of the site's philosophy. The site is evolving - please review the What's New section from time to time for an update. I welcome feedback, suggestions and contributions through the Contact page.

For an "official" site please see the excellent site of the British Society for Clinical Neurophysiology (BSCN). This was re-launched in its third implementation in Autumn 2008.

Finally, this site can be reached from several addresses (variants of the name). You will get the best response from clinicalneurophysiology.org.uk - that's without a hyphen and in the .org not .co subdomain.

Apologies to anyone who received duplicate copies of the STP and PTP curriculum messages today. A software "improvement" happened which I had to reverse.

Managing Scientific Careers

24 Jan 2011 — CNP Admin

Managing Scientific Careers is a DoH programme led by the Chief Scientific Officer of the DoH to overhaul the career structure of all the scientists in the NHS. The link above provides a jumping off point for much information.

An NHS Network has been set up which will host all published MSC curricula . This Network is an open network that anyone can view, no membership or passwords needed.

Currently the 5 PTP curricula are available and PTP Training Manuals and STPs will follow shortly.

Clinical Neurophysiology Essay Competition for Medical Students and Junior Doctors to ST2

17 Nov 2010 — c.j.fisher

    Do you think and essay competition aimed at medical students and junior doctors, up to CMT2, would help promote some interest in the specialty of clinical neurophysiology?

    Recruitment to the specialty has been less than wonderful recently. A common comment from clinical neurophysiologists is that many medics and core medical trainees have simply never heard of the speciality - even those with an interest in physiology and neurosciences generally. 

Synergy Users Group

07 Jul 2010 — CNP Admin

Dear Colleagues

I have at various times tried to persuade the several commercial owners of the Synergy EMG / EP / IOM machine to set up a discussion forum so that we can share problems. This has not happened.

Coming back on the train from Bristol last week, Arup seemed interested in this idea - so I have hosted it as a start. I am willing to let any doctor or CNP in , as well as employees of Carefusion. It will be a private forum to start with, so other manufacturers cannot "spy" on it. 

Association of Trainees in Clinical Neurophysiology

Membership of the ATCN is open to all UK Clinical Neurophysiology Trainees and is free.

Because of the small number of Clinical Neurophysiology trainees there are no regional Calman days. As such we meet at three national training days each year that always occur the day before the British Society For Clinical Neurophysiology (BSCN) scientific meeting.
