Jeremy Bland
It is with a sad heart that we share the shocking news that Dr Jeremy Bland passed away on Sunday night during his sleep.
Jeremy was an influential and popular Clincial Neurophysiologist and wise member of British Society for Clinical Neurophysiology Council for many years as Treasurer, Webmaster and more recently as NHS England National Specialty Advisor for Neurophysiology and Visual Science.
His influence will continue to be felt through the BSCN website and his research into carpal tunnel syndrome. The Canterbury Carpal Tunnel Scale is a memorial to his use of the scientific method applied to benefit patients and a tool to guide treatment for our surgical colleagues and is used across the globe. More recently he was instrumental in creating the ANS-BSCN National Referral Guidance will influence activity in clinics in the United Kingdom.
Jeremy also had an international impact. He was an active member of the AANEM and spoke regularly at their teaching courses and conferences. The AANEM awarded him the Distinguished Researcher Award in 2021. He was also rewarded in recognition for reviewing >1000 papers for Muscle and Nerve.
He has taught at many Oxford triennial courses and was demonstrating ultrasound techniques at the European Congress of Clinical Neurophysiology in September.
We send our sympathy and prayers to the family at this difficult time.
He will be sorely missed.

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
