Neurosciences Area

The Neurosciences Knowledge Area of Vall d’Hebron University Hospital is transversal and present at the Hospital of Traumatology and Rehabilitation, the General Hospital, and the Maternal and Child Hospital. It also includes the Multiple Sclerosis Center of Catalonia (CEMCAT) and research groups from VHIR and VHIO. The area brings together services and units with teams composed of physicians, nurses, auxiliaries, and radiology technicians.

The area’s strategic plan has driven structural changes to optimize access to diagnostic tests and rehabilitation during hospitalization. Notable initiatives include the creation of roles such as advanced practice nurses and the incorporation of neuropsychology, particularly for neurodegenerative diseases. The area is a reference center for rare diseases, with five accredited CSURs and six CSURs plus five XUECs that promote high-impact research projects. Last year, more than 400 scientific articles were published, with 60 % in the first quartile and half in the first decile, reflecting the leadership and research commitment of the area’s professionals.
