Raad Shakir
Prof. Raad Shakir, past president of the WFN, has been appointed president of the Joint Neurosciences Council (JNC) UK, effective Jan. 1, 2025. The JNC is the umbrella organization for 18 neurosciences specialty associations in the UK, including neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, neurophysiology, neuroradiology, neuropsychology, and neuropathology. It also includes patient organizations, such as Dementia UK, Stroke UK, and Epilepsy, among others. The JNC UK is an independent society, not associated with the WFN.
“All this would not have been possible if it was not for the experience and work for the WFN,” Prof. Shakir said.
The WFN congratulates Prof. Shakir on this important appointment. •
