title: [Management of human resources in neurology].
abstract: Neurology human resources comprise of the persons who make up the staff. Management tries to make the team both effective and efficient; consequently clear and quantifiable objectives together with resources according to real care needs, teaching, research and management are required. To calculate human resources, the suitability parameters recommended by scientific organisations must be used. To cover global care, 3.7 neurologists are needed for every 100,000 inhabitants. Management is the planning and selecting of staff and their incorporation into the dynamic of the team. It is also work performance training, job evaluation and the offering of opportunities to correct and improve. Personal competence is not a sufficient guarantee to ensure adequate performance. Motivation, team member encouragement to favour promotion, and support for professional career development are needed. Management is fomenting team work and stimulating staff participation in management organs, committees and hospital commissions.
