ebrain

Each 20-minute session is a self-contained piece of elearning that starts with learning objectives and ends with a summary and questions, then feedback.

Each of these sessions presents a unique case history and the learner directs the investigation and management of the patient. Patients can be managed and mismanaged quite safely.

Monthly seminars, currently co-ordinated by Marina Pitsika, SpR in the North East Deanery, Trainee Rep for the JNC, and BNTA Informatics Rep. Please email marina.pitsika@nhs.net if you would like to run a seminar.

We have two podcast series hosted by ebrain Clinical Lead Adrian Wills. 'Ten Minute Urgent Neurology' is aimed at hospital trainees. ‘Brain Talk’ is a collection of interviews with renowned individuals from the world of neuroscience.

ebrain hosts annual formative tests in Neurology and Neurosurgery. On completion, you will be able to produce a certificate of participation and claim 2 CPD points. You will be asked to submit one question that can be used in subsequent years.

These are longer courses, rather like an MSc but without the research component or the cost. Multicomponent courses are currently available for Neurosurgery ST1/ST2 and ST3/ST4 trainees.
