The Neurology and Neurosurgery Interest Group is a UK-based organisation dedicated to supporting the development of future clinicians and academics in the clinical neurosciences.
Established to address the limited exposure to neurology and neurosurgery within undergraduate medical training, NANSIG provides medical students and early-career doctors with opportunities to explore neurology, neurosurgery, and related disciplines whilst developing academic and professional networks.
