The Neurology Services at Nottingham Road Clinic provide specialist-led outpatient assessment, diagnosis and ongoing management of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and neuromuscular system. Neurological conditions are often complex, variable in presentation and can significantly affect physical function, cognition, mood and quality of life. Accurate diagnosis and timely management are essential to prevent progression, optimise function and provide appropriate reassurance where serious disease is excluded.
The service is delivered by experienced consultant neurologists with expertise across a broad range of neurological conditions. Care is grounded in detailed clinical assessment, supported by access to diagnostic investigations including imaging, neurophysiology and laboratory testing. Where required, the service interfaces with local NHS pathways, tertiary neuroscience centres and other specialties to ensure patients receive coordinated, guideline-aligned care.
The approach at Nottingham Road Clinic is holistic and patient-centred. Management plans consider the neurological diagnosis alongside functional impact, comorbidities, psychological wellbeing and social circumstances. Treatment and follow-up are tailored to individual need, with clear communication to patients and referrers.

The Neurology Service is suitable for adults presenting with new, persistent or progressive neurological symptoms that require specialist assessment beyond primary care.
This includes patients with:
Common referral scenarios include:
The service supports both self-pay and privately insured patients. It is also suitable for GP and specialist referrals where a consultant neurological opinion is required to guide diagnosis, investigation or management, or to determine onward referral within NHS or tertiary services.
Neurology Services assess and manage a wide range of neurological conditions and symptom complexes, including but not limited to:
Headache and facial pain disorders
Epilepsy and seizure disorders
Movement disorders
Peripheral nerve and neuromuscular conditions
Spinal and structural neurological conditions
Cognitive and memory disorders
Dizziness, blackout and autonomy-related symptoms
Red-flag neurological symptoms
Assessment begins with a detailed neurological history, focusing on symptom onset, progression, triggers, associated features and functional impact. Particular attention is paid to temporal patterns, episodic versus progressive symptoms, and factors that raise concern for secondary neurological pathology.
A comprehensive neurological examination is performed, which may include:
Investigations are requested based on clinical findings and in line with national guidance, with an emphasis on avoiding unnecessary testing while ensuring serious conditions are identified promptly.
Diagnostic pathways may include:
Findings are interpreted in clinical context, and results are communicated clearly to patients and referrers.
Management is individualised and evidence-based, taking into account diagnosis, symptom severity, comorbidities and patient priorities.
Treatment pathways may include:
For progressive or complex conditions, longer-term management plans are agreed with regular review. Where advanced interventions or tertiary input are required, timely onward referral is arranged.
Neurological care frequently requires collaboration across specialties. The service works closely with:
This coordinated approach ensures patients benefit from joined-up care, reduced duplication of investigations and clear responsibility for ongoing management.
Appointments are consultant-led and focused on thorough clinical assessment.
Patients can expect:
Following the appointment, patients receive clear advice on next steps, follow-up arrangements and safety-netting. Written correspondence is provided to the patient and referrer summarising findings and plans.
Do all neurological symptoms require brain imaging?
No. Imaging is requested when clinically indicated, based on symptoms, examination findings and guideline recommendations.
Can the service assess first seizures?
Yes. Prompt specialist assessment of a first seizure is important to guide investigation and management.
Are symptoms like dizziness or headaches neurological?
Many such symptoms have neurological causes, but assessment helps determine whether neurological investigation or alternative pathways are appropriate.
Will the service liaise with my GP?
Yes. Clear communication with primary care is a routine part of the service.
Can private assessment link into NHS care?
Where appropriate, findings and investigations can support NHS referrals or ongoing shared care.
Are long-term neurological conditions managed here?
Both initial diagnosis and ongoing management can be provided, depending on patient needs.
What if no neurological cause is found?
Excluding serious neurological disease can be reassuring and allows focus on appropriate alternative management strategies.
