Welcome to the NeuroCritical Care Network.
Our aims are:
- To Develop a national network of critical care units providing neurocritical care.
- To share evidence and best practice, which may in time and in conjunction with other stakeholders include the development of standards for neurocritical care.
- To develop national comparative audit of patient outcomes from neurocritical care in co-operation with ICNARC.
- To develop a national network which would facilitate multi-centre audit and research.
Initially, the scope of NCCNet is limited to neurocritical care for severe traumatic brain injury.

Evolution of NCCNet
In March 2007 Paddy Yeoman and Keith Girling invited interested parties around the UK to a meeting in Nottingham. There was broad critical care representation including neurosurgery and ICNARC. The general feeling was that neuro-critical care had reached a stage where there appears to be evidence that care given in specific neuro-critical care units for severe traumatic head injuries may lead to better patient outcomes than in general units, and therefore a network of neuro-critical care units was a good idea. This might allow further audit and research to assess the veracity of this, and if so why this might be. It could then extend its view to see if it is true for other serious neurological disease. The basic aims of the group were agreed in principle and that it should be named the Neuro-Critical Care Network – NCCNet
