The Global Brain Health Clinical Exchange Platform was commissioned and funded by the World Heath Organisation (WHO) to run a series of monthly online workshops to support the WHO and World Federation of Neurology's mission to optimise brain health and address challenges in improving brain health around the world.
The workshops are interactive and open to all who are interested in gaining insights into practice in different settings. Our aim is to create dialogue between policy makers, researchers, and clinicians through an intersectoral knowledge exchange platform.
We have recordings of each Clinical Exchange workshop, since November 2021. Each video is one hour in length. We have a number of different training series linked by brain health theme. Select one or all that interests you:
- Strategies for Improving Global Neurological Care
- Clinical Neurology Education
- Clinical Research Methodology for Neurological Disorders
Strategies for Improving Global Neurological Care training series
The World Health Organisation (WHO) have produced an Intersectoral global action plan (IGAP) on epilepsy and other neurological disorders, a global plan of action for neurological disorders. This training series looks to address different strategies to implement this plan across different settings to improve global neurology. Topics within this series include:
- One Health and neurological disorders – an interdisciplinary multi-health approach
- Developing tools to deliver neurological Universal Health Coverage
- Implementing the World Health Organization’s neurology revolution
- Promoting intersectoral action for brain health: A focus on dementia
- Building capacity in global neurology
- Implementing WHO’s neurology revolution: challenges and opportunities in managing epilepsy
- Neurosurgical health for all
- Opportunities in Global Brain Health with the World Federation of Neurology
