Management of the common chronic neurological disorders is at the interface between hospital and primary care, involving specialists, trainees in neurology, phsyiotherapists and the whole primary health care team. It requires up to date clinical knowledge as well as effectiveness and efficiency in delivering the best care for patients that resources allow. This work discusses both the latest advances in diagnosis and how best to implement treatment, suggesting the optimum achievable standards of care. Chapters discuss: headache; epilepsy; head injury; stroke and transient ischaemic attacks; meningitis; Parkinson's disease; dementia; multiple sclerosis; and motor neurone disease. Together with separate chapters on neurogenetics, the crucial issues of resources and facilities, and rehabilitation, this text provides a comprehensive, practical guide to the new approaches in neurological management.
