The importance of a team approach

I am delighted to introduce BJNN's new regular column which will cover topics relating to end-of-life care for people living with long-term neurological conditions. With over 10 million people currently living with a neurological condition in the UK and 600 000 people newly diagnosed each year (The Neurological Alliance, 2003), quality end-of-life care for people living with conditions including Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and motor neurone disease is essential.
