The goals of ENLS include:

- Providing a set of approaches that list important steps in managing a patient with a potential neurological emergency;
- Attempting to standardize emergency neurological care by consensus of practicing and research physicians; and
- Providing education to anyone dealing with neurological emergencies Identifying areas where research is needed to improve the care of our patients.
