Editor's cover letter

28 June 2019

This issue of the WFNS Newsletter presents a variety of reports:

First are WFNS Committee updates from the Education and Training Committee and the WFNS-WHO Liaison Committee. You will find the reports from both committees very informative.

Next is a report from AOSpine and the University of Cambridge on the RECODE-DCM project. Please complete the short survey on degenerative cervical myelopathy that is linked in the report.

Next is a report on the Neurosurgical Atlas app for smartphones. For those not familiar with the Neurosurgical Atlas , this report will be an introduction to a very educational multimedia resource.
