Neurology
Neurology deals with conditions of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and all the peripheral nerves.
Overview
Our private neurology service is central to the neuroscience centre at Cromwell Hospital.
Led by a team of London's top consultant neurologists, the unit specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and management of all neurological conditions such as MS, stroke and Parkinson's disease.
With the latest diagnostic technology available, we can offer a full range of investigations including MRI and CT scans, and EEG telemetry. This means fast diagnosis and access to the specialists you need.
Neurological disorders can be alarming with loss of brain functioning, causing symptoms that range from headache or memory loss, problems with speech or poor control of a limb. An initial consultation will help to identify the likely cause.
Your consultant neurologist will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, pharmacists and dieticians on your case.
