Neurology

Neurology concerns disorders of the brain and nervous system. Topics include epilepsy, movement disorders and other neurological conditions. Neurosurgery is a different specialty, so the correct department should be confirmed rather than assumed.

Common consultation topics

• Brain and nerves
• Movement disorders
• Existing diagnoses

Records to discuss with the hospital

• A timeline of symptoms and previous assessments
• Relevant MRI, CT, EEG or other reports and a medicine list

Questions before booking

• Is neurology or a different specialty the right booking route?
• Can existing scans and reports be reviewed before an appointment is arranged?

Check the exact campus, clinician, appointment language and follow-up arrangements directly with the hospital. These are planning questions; the provider should tell you which documents and assessments are needed for your own appointment.
