The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out.
Practical Neurology is included as part of a subscription to JNNP and provided in print to all members of the Association of British Neurologists.
