Advanced specialist review and management for complex neurological conditions.
Tertiary Neurology Services
What is Tertiary Neurology?
Tertiary Neurology provides specialist assessment and management for complex, atypical, or treatment-resistant neurological conditions.
We support secondary care teams, GPs, and hospital services where additional subspecialist input is required to clarify diagnosis, optimise management, or guide long-term care planning.
Our consultant-led service supports both inpatient and outpatient pathways, offering structured review, clear reporting, and integrated management plans aligned to NHS standards.
Tertiary input is particularly valuable where:
- Sub-specialist opinion is required prior to intervention
- Diagnostic uncertainty persists
- Symptoms are complex or multi-system
- Standard treatments have not achieved expected outcomes
Conditions supported
Our tertiary neurology service supports complex cases including:
- Drug-resistant or complex epilepsy
- Movement disorders (Parkinson’s disease, atypical parkinsonism, tremor)
- Neuromuscular disorders
- Neuroinflammatory and demyelinating conditions
- Complex headache syndromes
- Functional neurological disorder
- Diagnostic uncertainty cases
- Rare neurological presentations
Referrals are reviewed by consultant neurologists with relevant sub-specialist expertise.
