The British Neurovascular Group evolved from informal groupings
of interested clinicians and researchers within the Society of
British Neurological Surgeons.
They initially assembled under the banner of the Spontaneous
Intracerebral Haemorrhage Group and members conceived or
facilitated important British contributions to the care of patients
with neurovascular disease including the STICH trials.
