Neurosurgery
Assessment of brain and spine problems, built around imaging and a referral pathway to the right next step of care.
Request a consultAssessment and planning, led by imaging
Patients are seen by referral, and a neurosurgeon reviews imaging together with the patient before discussing what, if anything, needs to happen next. Planning is built around what the scans show rather than a fixed procedure list, so each case is considered on its own findings.
Where surgery is recommended, it is arranged through the appropriate surgical pathway, and this service continues to follow the patient afterwards: reviewing imaging, checking recovery and confirming the plan for further care.
