What is neurology?

Neurology is the medical specialty that diagnoses and manages disorders of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Our consultant neurologists assess symptoms, order specialised tests and coordinate medical (non-surgical) care and long-term management plans. We offer experienced neurology teams and neurophysiology services to provide timely assessment and testing

Common conditions we treat

  • Dizziness and balance disorders
  • Epilepsy and seizure disorders
  • Headache and migraines
  • Movement disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s)
  • Multiple sclerosis and inflammatory neurological conditions
  • Muscle diseases and motor neurone conditions (diagnostic pathways)
  • Peripheral neuropathy and entrapment neuropathies (e.g., carpal tunnel)

If a condition needs surgery, we’ll coordinate with our spinal and neurosurgery teams.

Common diagnostic tests and scans

Our tests and scans help your consultant find the cause of your symptoms; we’ll tell you how to prepare and when to expect your results

  • MRI (brain / spine): non-invasive imaging to look for structural causes.
  • EEG (electroencephalogram): records brain electrical activity to investigate seizures and some types of collapse. 
  • Nerve conduction studies (NCS) / EMG: assess peripheral nerve and muscle function
  • Blood tests / lumbar puncture: when required for diagnosis (e.g., inflammatory or infectious causes).
  • Neuropsychology or specialist clinic assessments for cognitive or movement disorders.
