What do we do?

Our Neurology Service provides care and treatment for an extensive range of conditions affecting the nervous system.   We have a national and international reputation in many fields of neurological disability and chronic disease management and are the North East’s regional centre for Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy and Motor Neurone, Mitochondrial and Parkinson’s diseases.

Our service is run by a highly qualified and experienced multidisciplinary team of clinicians, supported by specialist nurses who ensure continuity of care and support for our most vulnerable patients. Through working closely with our patients' families or carers and with rehabilitation services in the local community, we aim to support our patients in staying at home wherever possible.
