New ABN Report Published: The State of the UK Neurology Workforce – Needs for a Population of 100,000
The Association of British Neurologists (ABN) has published a comprehensive collaborative review providing updated and newly analysed evidence on neurology workforce requirements across the UK.
The State of the UK Neurology Workforce: Needs for a Population of 100,000 highlights the significant challenges currently faced across adult neurology services and sets out important recommendations to support the development of a sustainable workforce for the future. The report recognises the vital role of specialist nurses within the wider neurology workforce.
BANN has formally endorsed this important document, welcoming the emphasis placed on nursing throughout and supporting the call for improved workforce data and strategic planning. For the first time, the report provides a clear picture of consultant neurologists, specialist nurses, allied health professionals, and support staff. This will enable evidence-based service planning for the 11 million people affected by neurological conditions and help drive further improvements in patient care.
