The aim of the Polish Neurological Society’s activities is to support the development of neurology and associated fields of science, to present achievements of Polish scientists in Poland and abroad, to provide postgraduate training to doctors on diseases of the nervous system, and to participate in developing the public healthcare model. Moreover, the Society, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, carries out publishing activities and is responsible for the development and publication of opinions on scientific matters.
