Welcome to the home page for the Adult Neurology SIG.

We hold two half-day study days per year and one full day. Our events are advertised in the Bulletin and also by email to SIG-AN members and London managers. The SIG-AN is run by a voluntary committee (currently eight members). If you have ideas for future topics, let us know.
