TY - JOUR T1 - UK neurologists and the care of adults with acute neurological problems JF - Clinical Medicine JO - Clin Med SP - 436 LP - 439 DO - 10.7861/clinmedicine.2-5-436 VL - 2 IS - 5 AU - Charles Warlow AU - Peter Humphrey AU - Graham Venables Y1 - 2002/09/01 UR - http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/2/5/436.abstract N2 - In the UK, most patients admitted to hospital with acute neurological problems are not looked after or even seen by a consultant neurologist. As a result, the outcome of their care may be suboptimal. The Association of British Neurologists believes that, in order to provide a reasonable service, the number of consultant neurologists will have to increase more than threefold, to about 1,400. This should be achievable in the next 10-15 years and would bring UK neurological services up to the standards that already obtain in comparable European countries. ER -
