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.

Data Security Standards for EMG and EEG Recording Machines in transit

Fri, 29/05/2009 - 13:26 — Adrian Fowle

There is a risk to data confidentiality when recording machines are exchanged between hospital departments and manufacturers. This has been known about in the corporate IT world for years, but it is perhaps not so familiar in our world. I hope to use this forum to develop a common approach to this problem between clinicians and our equipment manufacturers.With the focus on service quality coming soon to the NHS this is an area for which we need agreed standards.

Problems still arise with many types of data according to a recent survey which was also reported in the national press.

Update of Group software

Sun, 19/04/2009 - 21:15 — CNP Admin

The software that runs the groups and forums is written by a different team to that which writes the software for the email notifications - and they do not always work together.

Today I have upgraded to new versions of each. They are still not perfect but are an improvement on what went before. I have reset the notifications to "1 hour" interval. I think you will find this works best but please feel free to change to something less frequent.

Acquisition to admin interface

Tue, 02/12/2008 - 15:38 — Adrian Fowle
This forum is now open for business! Thanks to the members from industry for joining up. I am sure more clinicians will join up in due course. I should like to get the ball rolling by asking how you see the links between recording equipment and hospital admin systems developing.

Groups, Forums and Subscriptions

The CNP-consultants mailing list has had over 500 posts and replies since its inception in about May 2007. The ATCN-members list has also been active, but I have not seen the traffic. The technology used was cheap and cheerful and it is now time to replace it with something better.

Site News

This is the third version of Clinical Neurophysiology.org.uk. It has been in planning for some time and is not complete. However I have had to introduce it in something of a hurry following some unplanned technical changes behind the scenes. This version uses Drupal, an open source content management system. I hope it will make future maintenance easier and allow me to add additional features. The old version, or parts which are still working, may be found at www.clinicalneurophysiology.org.uk/oldsite/index.html for the time being. Expect changes! Your feedback is welcome.
