CoroNerve: A UK NeuroCOVID Registry
There is increasing interest in the neurological associations and complications with COVID-19. There is now, in many countries, a need to create a neuroCOVID registry.
In the UK, this process has involved the Association of British Neurologists. The aim is for people who are directly caring for these patients to have a high index of suspicion for neurological complications and refer patients to their local neurologists, who can notify the ABN registry site.
