Goals of ENENR
The following goals were agreed after discussion:
-
to compare in the European countries, post graduate training and education, concerning the field of neurorehabilitation
-
to compare the different pathways for education (university, hospital, schools, etc…)
-
to define core curriculum for each activity
-
to identify the limits to the mobility from a country to another one
-
to propone guidelines for an harmonisation of curriculum and education in Europe
-
to present an application for a EC project of harmonisation in education
-
to partecipate to other projects in this field (i.e. SMART project or other)
-
to compare education and its impact on health system
-
to extend the activity to other countries of EC (Eastern Europe, in particular)
-
to create the basis for extending the activity to other countries out of EC (WFNR)
Methodology
2a) Name of the group
It was agreed to maintain the name proposed:
European Network for Education in Neurorehabilitation (ENENR)
The same membership will be active in the WFNR SIG on Neurorehabilitation curriculum and standards for Neurorehabilitation training (European group) (at least in this first phase).
2b) Societies/Countries
The following societies/countries are member of the network:
-
Austria

2c) Member for each Society/Country
It was proposed as general rule to have max two representatives for each country.
A feedback by each Society is asked.
(Action: all the members)
Other members of each societies could be involved in the activity of the network on specific task.
Only MD expert in Neurorehabilitation will be members of the network
2d) Type of activity
The ENENR will produce an EBM document to be published at the end of activity.
The results will be presented in Congresses (see next points).
Further activities could be defined during the next meetings and they could include the organization of an European Summer School, Board of qualification and
International Master in Neurorehabilitation.
(Action: all the members)
2e) Organization of activities
In the first step all the members will work together during the ENENR activities. As second step specific tasks could be defined and specific working group involving other experts could be proposed.
Binder will be chairman of ENENR group and Sandrini will be co-chairman; about the WFNR SIG Binder will be the Chair and Sandrini will be the Vice-chair for Europe.
2f) Planning of activities, timing and deadlines
2009 next ENENR meetings: - Bozen 24th August
- Florence (during EFNS congress, 12th or other date) - Linz (15th October)(to be confirmed)
2010: Vienne (during WFNR congress): meeting and activity to be defined
2011: Bozen: An international congress, organized by the Austrian, German, Italian and Swiss Societies of Neurorehabilitation, will include a specific topic on education and ENENR activity.
3) A core curriculum in neurorehabilitation
To define a common curriculum in Neurorehabilitation will represent the most important task of the ENENR.
A common framework will be reached comparing the proposals coming from different societies.
It will concern only postgraduate activity.
It will include theoretical acknowledgements, learning, skill and practical activities.
Report from literature and other non EC countries could be evaluated.
A first presentation of the proposals available (A, D, I) will be done in the next meeting in Bozen.
Each Society will present the preliminary proposals.
(Action: one representative for each Society; for Italy: Corradini)
4) EC harmonization projects

During the next meeting in Bozen, Sandrini will give information about the Education harmonization projects
