Who will do it?
Our patients are at the heart of what we do and we want you to be in control of your care.
All of our neuropsychologists are fully qualified and benefit from working in our modern, well-equipped hospitals and clinics.
Before your treatment
We're here to help you every step of the way. You will have a formal consultation with the consultant of your choice. During this time you will be able to explain your medical history, symptoms and any concerns you might have.
Your neuropsychologist will discuss your medical history with you and perform a thorough assessment of your condition. They will also discuss with you whether they feel any other tests are needed.
With your permission the consultant will liaise with your GP or referring consultant and provide a detailed discharge summary at the end of your tests or treatment.
