Task Force on General Neurology

The efficient work of the General Neurology TF after its creation in 2021 culminated in the recently published white paper on general neurology outlining the current challenges and future implications. This was a collaborative work with leading global neurological societies (AAN, AFAN, ANZAN, AOAN, EFNA, PAFNS, RRFS, and WFN). The Taskforce then met with the EAN Board Members, and a decision was made that, due to the extremely important nature of general neurology as a field, the Taskforce has a right to further existence, moreover, the majority of the EAN Board are now active members of the Taskforce. The Taskforce plans to investigate the current situation further by approaching the RRFS and the EAN National Neurological Societies with a survey with nuanced questions. Additionally, an official letter was sent to the aforementioned neurological societies enquiring on their willingness to collaborate, many of which have already confirmed their participation in the TF.
