Specialist Care for Conditions Affecting the Brain, Spine and Nervous System

Our Neurosurgery service provides specialist assessment, diagnosis and treatment for conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, spine and peripheral nervous system. We provide patient-centred care throughout the treatment journey, from your initial consultation and diagnostic investigations through treatment, recovery and follow-up. Where surgery is not required or is not the most appropriate option, we consider non-surgical treatment and specialist referral where appropriate.

Recovery and Follow-Up

Recovery following neurosurgery varies considerably depending on the type of condition, procedure and individual patient.
