Ep. 195: Functional Neurological Disorder Across Europe: Bridging Gaps in Neurology Training and Clinical Practice

Moderator: Veronica Cabreira (Porto, Portugal) Guest: Mark Edwards (London, UK) and Jon Stone (Edinburgh, UK) Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) remains one of the most common yet least adequately taught conditions in neurology training across Europe. In this episode, moderator Veronica Cabreira and expert guests Jon Stone and Mark Edwards reflect on historical and contemporary factors that contribute to major gaps in education and training on FND across Europe. They argue that FND should be the “business” of Neurologists and provide their insights into advocating for better clinical pathways and specialist services, integrating evidence-based FND teaching, and aligning health policy for FND with modern clinical practice.
