The neurology department provides a secondary diagnostic service to local people and, in conjunction with the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, guides the ongoing management of chronic neurological disorders. The department runs a purely consultant based service, which means that patients get a faster diagnosis and treatment plan.
There are excellent neuroimaging and neurophysiology services on site. The department also supports the general medical and surgical consultants within the hospital and sees more than 3000 outpatients patients a year.
Six general neurology outpatient clinics are run per week. There are no inpatient beds at the hospital, so patients needing specialist neurological nursing or investigation are transferred to the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. The department works closely with The National Hospital in the management of patients with long-term conditions.
