Safety, Concussion Awareness the Focuses of National Neurosurgery Awareness Week

The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) will commemorate National Neurosurgery Awareness Week (NNAW) April 28-May 4, 2013, in conjunction with its 81st Annual Scientific Meeting in New Orleans, which takes place April 27-May 1, 2013. This year, AANS is focusing on two issues of critical importance to the public — patient safety and concussion awareness.

The theme for the 2013 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting is “Changing Our Culture to Advance Patient Safety,” as more than 3,200 heath-care professionals involved in the neurosurgical specialty converge to review, discuss and explore how neurosurgical practitioners can work together to improve patient safety and quality of care.
