The Clinical Neurophysiology Society of South Africa (CNSSA) promotes the adoption of universal standards for the performance and reporting of all diagnostic and monitoring procedures within our field of practice. These international guidelines serve as a benchmark for consistency, accuracy, and professionalism across clinical neurophysiology services.
We encourage all Clinical Neurophysiology practitioners to implement and adhere to the minimum standards outlined below. These have been endorsed by globally respected professional bodies such as the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN), the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), and similar organisations. By aligning with these standards, practitioners contribute to improved care, greater professional accountability, and international recognition of our field in South Africa.
At the 2022 Annual General Meeting, CNSSA adopted a proposal to formally review and endorse internationally accepted guidelines, with the goal of adapting them for the South African context and incorporating them into official scope of practice documents.
