Neurology is the study of the nervous system and the diagnosis of conditions that affect it.

The nervous system is extremely complex and regulates and coordinates the body’s activities. It involves the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles.

The neurology department offers treatment for a wide range of neurological disorders and conditions including:

  • Parkinson’s
  • Headaches
  • Strokes
  • Seizure disorders
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Dystonia
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • Peripheral Nerve Disease

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Service

If you have been referred to the Motor Neurone Disease Service (MND), you will be invited to a clinic where you will see a neurology consultant with an expertise in motor neurone disease.

A multidisciplinary team of specialists will work together with you to create a personalised care plan.

Not everyone who is referred has MND. Patients are also referred for tests and a specialist opinion on symptoms.

You will get a copy of the letter that goes to the GP after the appointment, some people find it helpful to record consultations in clinic on their mobile phone. Please tell us if you would like to do this.
