Neuroradiologists based in Wuppertal, Germany
In the heart of Germany's Bergisches Land region, two renowned hospitals—Solingen City Hospital and Helios University Hospital Wuppertal—are joining forces to co-host the annual conference of the German Association of Neuroradiologists (BDNR). The event, scheduled for May 2nd and 3rd at the Historical Town Hall in Wuppertal, will bring together experts in the field of Neuroradiology.
Neuroradiology, a relatively young medical discipline with a history of approximately 100 years, plays a crucial role in the treatment of acute stroke, specifically through thrombectomy and stent implantation. This specialised field focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and changes in the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord.
The collaboration between Solingen City Hospital and Helios University Hospital Wuppertal is not new. Over the years, these hospitals have been working together, providing the region with the expertise of their well-rehearsed teams. Dr. Hannes Nordmeyer, the head of the Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology at Solingen City Hospital, and Dr. Thorsten Schmidt, based in Wuppertal, are leading figures in this partnership.
The BDNR, founded in 1982, represents neuroradiologists practicing in hospitals and outpatient clinics across Germany. As a professional association, it supports the next generation of doctors in neuroradiology by providing them with training opportunities at important centres like Solingen City Hospital and Helios University Hospital Wuppertal.
However, the search results do not provide information about which clinics collaborate closely with Solingen City Hospital for training the next generation of doctors in neuroradiology.
The annual conference, co-hosted by Dr. Nordmeyer and Dr. Schmidt, will focus on the latest developments and advancements in the field of Neuroradiology. The conference will also highlight the role of Neuroradiology in supporting the neighboring fields of neurology and neurosurgery with radiological examination techniques.
The cooperation between these two hospitals and the BDNR is expected to further strengthen the region's expertise in Neuroradiology, benefiting patients in the Bergisches Land region and beyond. The BDNR annual conference 2024 will undoubtedly be a significant event in the field, attracting professionals from across Germany and beyond.
