Information Websites
One of the biggest problems facing cognitive neurologists worldwide is the limited availability of cognitive tests translated into different languages and adapted to the specific cultural, social and linguistic characteristics of the relevant populations. The WFN RG ACD is planning to create websites for different countries, regions and languages, which will contain information relevant to clinicians wishing to establish and run cognitive clinics. Apart from cognitive tests and other assessment materials, the websites will contain lists of pertinent publications, dates of meetings and teaching courses and other information of interest. This project has been substantially supported through the WFN grant "Cognitive Clinics Worldwide".
The first website, established in June 2012, is that for INDIA:
http://www.wfnteachcogn.in/
With time, we hope to make an increasing number of websites available, while the existing ones will be updated and extended. Watch this space.
