What does EBC mean in HOSPITALS

The European Brain Council (EBC) is an advocacy organization that works to promote the interests of patients, researchers, and clinicians in the field of neuroscience. EBC brings together professional organizations, patient associations, research funders, and industry partners to advance better treatment and care for people with neurological disorders.

The EBC's mission is to ensure that developments in neuroscience are made available to those who need them most, including patients, their families, and healthcare professionals. This includes working to raise awareness about key issues related to brain health such as understanding diseases or conditions affecting the brain; advocacy for increased public and governmental support for medical research; encouraging collaboration between stakeholders; and providing a platform for public engagement on relevant topics.

By joining the EBC you can help to make a difference in the lives of those living with neurological disorder. You will be part of an international network of experts in neurology who work together towards one shared goal – improving brain health around the world. You will have access to resources and events specifically designed to amplify your voice on matters relating to neurological health. Joining directly contributes towards our joint efforts in making sure that scientifically-grounded advancements lead to tangible outcomes for those affected by these illnesses.

Since its formation in 2005, EBC has successfully driven several important initiatives that aim improve access and quality of care for patients with neurological disorders across Europe. These include partnering with leading healthcare organisations like MindsMatterEU which brought together over 180 experts from across Europe dedicated towards better mental health policies; co-hosting two conferences (2009 & 2016) dedicated towards advancing treatments for mental illness; releasing policy reports on priorities related to Alzheimer’s disease and dementia care; driving data sharing initiatives such as Neurobanking; and launching a high-level task force on dementia prevention aimed at addressing lack of access faced by many dementia patients across Europe.
