New Specialist Library for Neurological Conditions

Dear all
We've made a new Specialist Library available from today, which focuses on Neurological Conditions. The library will be launched formally on 14th Nov, but has gone live today in order to gather feedback and comments before then.
If you get a chance to have a look and have any comments to make, please use the Contact Us form within the Specialist Library to send your thoughts to the team at the Royal Free Hospital who have put the library together.

Thanks for your help
