We are holding a short seminar at the ICE building at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital from 17:00 to 19:00 on Thursday 2 May where some of the medical research supported by the Foundation will be described. If anyone would like an invitation to this please contact Sarah on sarah@deansltd.com or Dave on dave.wyper@glasgow.ac.uk

An introduction to the work of The Neurosciences Foundation.

Why is The Neurosciences Foundation Needed?
While the National Health Service and Universities in the west of Scotland have provided the staff with modern equipment for routine clinical work they do not and indeed cannot, meet all the needs of research. The NSF, which is a registered charity, exists to help patients by providing funding for specific research projects or studentships. In order to receive NSF support, the research projects have to pass very strict review by experts.

Where is this research carried out?
The research which the NSF funds is centred, although not exclusively, on work done at the Institute of Neurological Sciences [INS]. The Institute is a major unit within the NHS and is housed in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.
