The aim of this paper is to outline the background to several recent papers which highlight deficiencies in acute neurological care- all of which highlight (to differing degrees) issues in relation to neurological assessment with some proposed solutions. Given that 10% of acute emergency admissions are for neurological conditions (up to 20% if stroke included), this should be of concern to all acute medical physicians.
