According to a study conducted in 20171, approximately 308 million neurological diseases were recorded in Europe out of a total population of 512.4 million. The EU report Health at a Glance Europe 2018 shows that approximately 84 million people in the EU are affected by psychiatric and mental illnesses. Worldwide, neuropsychiatric disorders are the most common cause of physical and mental disability and the second leading cause of death.
At the Comprehensive Center for Clinical Neurosciences and Mental Health (C³NMH), we take an interdisciplinary and interprofessional approach that puts patients at the center of our activities, offering them personalized diagnosis, treatment, and prevention measures for neurological and mental disorders.
We achieve this goal by further developing university-based, multi-professional, high-end medicine, competitive cutting-edge research, and excellent teaching in the field of clinical neuroscience and mental health.
The further development of the three focal areas of patient care, teaching, and research takes place within the framework of interdisciplinary cooperation, incorporating projects and ideas for the digitalization of processes and procedures in all three areas.
In patient care, the focus is on redesigning clinical and support processes and standards for the care of patients with neurological and mental illnesses. This will improve the quality of services and increase the efficiency of care.
In research, we promote interdisciplinary and translational science from the laboratory to the clinic and back again. Interdisciplinary research, the establishment of relationships and collaborations with medical-theoretical research institutions at MedUni Vienna, as well as with domestic and foreign research institutions and industry partners, are being intensified.
In the area of study, education, and training, we are working on the design of teaching and training content in all areas relevant to patient care, including undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, specialist training, continuing medical education, and the general education and training of all professional groups involved in the care of patients with neurological and mental illnesses.
