ERN-RND expert centres
The ERN-RND is made up of 31 healthcare expert centres located all across Europe. This month we are introducing our partner hospital in Bonn, Germany: Zentrum für seltene erkrankungen Bonn, Klinik und Poliklinik für Neurologie, Universitätsklinikum Bonn.

KNOWLEDGE

Delphi process
One of the aims of this year's ERN-RND activities is to develop therapeutic algorithms for the different rare neurological diseases. This will be done using the Delphi process, a structured consensus method, based on a panel of experts. It consists of multiple rounds of expert surveys, with the anonymous results being aggregated and fed back to the experts after each round.
