ebrain is a non-profit raising initiative from the Joint Neurosciences Council, which is a registered charity. ebrain represents the world's largest, most comprehensive web-based training resource in clinical neuroscience. The programme incorporates 650+ interactive, multimedia-rich lessons in 24 modules, along with 100+ webinars, virtual case reports, practice examinations, learning paths and a bibliography.

• ebrain can be used by both trainees and trainers to support continuous professional development across all neuroscience specialties.
• CPD points can be claimed.
• Certificates can be used within portfolios and to evidence self-directed CME.

Led by Dr Adrian Wills, Mr Nitin Mukerji, and Dr Amit Batla, the 500+ contributing clinicians form part of a multi-disciplinary team of expert authors and reviewers drawn from all areas of the neurosciences, both in the UK and across Europe.

ebrain was developed in 2010/11 with enormous contributions from all the UK neuroscience specialties and the European Academy of Neurology. The programme was launched in Nov 2011 and there are now over 650 elearning sessions.

There has been an annual formative practice test in Neurosurgery since 2014, and the Neurology formative test began in 2017. In 2016, ebrain was recognised by the Royal College of Physicians as an awarder of CPD points. In 2017, we embarked on a regular programme to update the content. The team is focused on developing different ways to present the content, including virtual patients, bibliographies, question banks and webinars. We can also provide online components of residential courses.
