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. * The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

Customer Reviews
Really helpful!
Love both formats of the podcast: the editors’ choice episodes are such a great way of providing an overview of and inroad into the journal, the in-depth discussions are refreshingly easy to follow and really suit my style of learning (being talked through a topic renders it much more penetrable than simply reading the article and guides you through the most important points). As a new trainee (at a stage where it sometimes feels impossible to know everything but difficult to know what you really need to know) it is really helpful to hear experienced clinicians sort out the things really important to understand from those that are more reference points to return to in certain scenarios. It is also encouraging to hear the podcast hosts admit to certain topics/concepts being unfamiliar or different to grasp - as at this stage many topics feel this way to be and it is good to know I’m not alone. Please don’t stop producing these podcasts!
Important, credible and contemporary
Educational podcasts can be a challenge to get right, what’s the message, what’s the tone? These authoritative and intimate conversations feel like you’re eavesdropping on the two most intelligent people that you know, discuss something that they love.
Important, credible and contemporary these are hugely impressive podcasts.
Really useful CPD
Very enjoyable and interesting. Big fan of Practical Neurology.
