Abstract

Summary The French Brain Council, which has a balanced representation of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosciences, participated in the launch of a survey on the current status of care for patients suffering from brain diseases with the aim to identify 10 consensual priorities to be emphasized in the building the National Brain Plan in all European member states. This National Brain and Mental Health plan was approved by the National Brain Councils of 17 European member states. The present report details the 11 responses that obtained a consensus, the top five (over 90% of agreement) being the needs to: (1) improve multidisciplinary integrated home care and structures of coordinated health care, (2) increase homogeneity within regions for current state of prevention, (3) develop evidence based and socially responsible policy by collecting data from ongoing clinical trials and basic research to optimally address unmet needs, (4) promote education on innovative technologies, and (5) facilitate translational research.
