Benchmarks
The group is committed to establishing areas for improving neuroscience practice through searching for the best evidence and developing policies and guidelines.
Each benchmark consists of four areas; policies, documentation, staff education and patient information.
The Neuroscience Benchmarks provide “Best Practice Guidelines” and service delivery.
