Neurosurgery Education and Outreach Network (NEON)
The Neurosurgery Education and Outreach Network (NEON) is comprised of Neurosurgery Nurse Educators, Advanced Practice Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, and director-level hospital administrators from each of the designated neurosurgery centres in Ontario. The NEON members work closely with community hospitals to improve patient access and flow for neurosurgery patients to ensure patients are able to continue their care journey closer to home.
