The British Society of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery
About Us
The British Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (BSSFN) is affiliated to the Society of British Neurological Surgery and consists of professionals who are involved in therapies related to this branch of Neurosurgery (see Procedures), including Deep Brain Stimulation for diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, tremor or pain.
We consist of Neurosurgeons (including Trainees) and allied health care professionals. Our aim as a society is to provide a forum for professionals to communicate (such as by organising an Annual Scientific Meeting) and to help patients by providing a voice for such professionals on subjects such as commissioning of health care and to promote the awareness of conditions that we treat.
By our network of professionals, we also help to support projects such as the National DBS Registry and provide representatives for committees such as those in NICE
Welcome Letter from the President
I am delighted to welcome you all to the British Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery website. Your executive committee is keen to share up to date news and events relevant to our ever growing sub-specialty. We hope this website will be of value in providing information on our annual meeting, current relevant guidelines and learning opportunities available in the UK and abroad.
We invite you to contact us with any regional, national and international events that would be of interest to our community by contacting contact@bssfn.org. Our mission is to support colleagues in the UK and abroad within this expanding field. I look forward to our ever increasing collaborations and shared experience.
