Dr Shaun Foo
Consultant Neurophysiologist
MBChB, MRCP (UK) (Neurology)
Specialises in
- Nerve conduction studies
I am a dual-accredited Consultant Neurologist and Clinical Neurophysiologist at Spire Harrogate Clinic. My NHS work is based at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. I am also the Co-Director of the Leeds Motor Neurone Disease (MND) service at the Rob Burrow Centre for MND.
My clinical practice spans a wide range of diagnostic and sub-specialist areas. This involves complex nerve conduction studies and electromyography (NCS/EMG), with a focus on diagnosing and managing peripheral nerve injuries, various neuromuscular conditions, and neurological disorders such as motor neurone disease. My work frequently involves close collaboration with specialist colleagues in neurology, hand surgery, orthopaedics, and spinal surgery amongst others, particularly in the assessment of complex peripheral nerve injuries, neuromuscular disorders such as myopathies, and MND.
Alongside my clinical duties, I am actively involved in clinical research. I have authored and co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and presented my work at national and international scientific conferences. In my current role as Co-Director of the Leeds MND service, I am closely involved in establishing research and clinical trials at the Rob Burrow Centre for MND, with a particular focus on expanding patient access to trials and innovative treatments. I am also involved in education and training, and I hold an honorary academic appointment as Senior Lecturer at the University of Leeds.
