ABOUT US 
EUNS was founded in 2010 and has ever since attracted students with keen interest in neuroscience, neurology and neurosurgery.   
​We work within five domains (Neurosurgery, Neuroscience, ​Neurology, Public Engagement, International conference) aimed at different groups of people.

Neuroscience

We organize TED-like monthly talks where we invite experts to share their views on highly debated topics.

These are the kind of questions you probably have come across from others, or questions you have wondered yourself. 

No background is required and everyone is welcome!
________

Neurosurgery
In collaboration with the Edinburgh Student Surgical Society, we organize a full day workshop. 

These cover the fundamental skills of neurosurgery. 
Including:
​
  • Microsurgical suturing 
  • Craniotomy 
  • External ventricular drain

​We also organise expert speakers to talk about neurosurgery application and exciting clinical topics.

Public Engagement

NEUROTHEATRE

Inspired by Mr Mark Wilson, consultant neurosurgeon in London, Neuro theatre is a theatrical lecture in which we follow a patient from injury to recovery. First we are shown by emergency rescue services how to deal with a head injury and then we let neurosurgeons show us how they open a skull and remove blood collecting in the head (extradural haematoma). 
Everyone is welcome from kids to medical students! 

Competitions and Tutorials

Neuroanatomy

​We provide Edinburgh University student-exclusive neuroanatomy tutorials in preparation for the prestigious National Undergraduate Neuroanatomy Competition (NUNC) annually hosted by the University of Southampton.

Chiamaka Bianca Offorbuike

​​I am Chiamaka Bianca Offorbuike, a 5th year medical student of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. I hail from the Igbo tribe in Eastern Nigeria and grew up in Onitsha, a commerce-driven city in the heart of Anambra state. I am interested in Neurosurgery because I am intrigued by how the brain functions. The expertise and resilience demonstrated by neurosurgeons resonates deeply with my core values of excellence and perseverance. I hope to create a liaison for medical students in Nigeria with similar interests, extending the frontiers of the Society and its impact to Africa.

Get Involved!!

We always welcome students who would like to get directly involved in our society.
​Don't hesitate to get in touch with us via email, Facebook, or Instagram (@edneurosoc)

OUR SPONSORS
While most of the outputs of Edinburgh University Neurological Society are cost free thanks to the charitable contributions of EUNS members and the Edinburgh Neuroscience Community. Funds are needed to host events and maintain high level services such as our National Conferences and our Neurosurgical Skills Centre.

For this, we are extremely grateful to organisations who have supported us financially - without them we could not function so please take some time to look through the services they offer.
