An introduction to the work of The Neurosciences
Foundation.
What is the purpose of The Neurosciences
Foundation?
The main role of The Neurosciences Foundation is to assist
in the provision of funds for research. Research into new ideas and
new techniques to help patients who have suffered injury or damage to the
brain and nervous system.
Why is The Neurosciences Foundation Needed?
While the National Health Service, the University of
Glasgow and the Medical Research Council have provided the staff with
modern equipment for routine clinical work they do not and indeed cannot,
meet all the needs of research. The Neurosciences Foundation, which
is a registered charity, exists to help patients by assisting in the
provision of funds for research which cannot be found from elsewhere.
Where is this research carried
out?
|
The research which the Foundation funds is centred, although
not exclusively, on the Institute of Neurological Sciences.
The Institute is a major unit and is wholly within the NHS and
is housed in the Department of Neurosurgery Building, located within
the grounds of the Southern General Hospital, Glasgow,
Scotland.
The Institute of Neurological Sciences not only
serves a population of 3 million people but is also recognised as a
centre of excellence. It attracts doctors from all parts of
the world - USA, Canada, the Middle East, India, Malaysia,
Australia, New Zealand and Japan who come for special training.
The Institute's staff of 36 Consultants, including 6
University professors, work as a coordinated group with highly
trained doctors, nurses, scientists, therapists and a full range of
ancillary staff within the 150 bed Department of Neurosurgery.
