Neurology
Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with diseases of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles. The neurology department at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital is committed to providing the highest quality clinical care to patients. The department consists of three consultants who all hold joint appointments between Chelsea and Westminster and the Regional Neurosciences Centre at Charing Cross Hospital. In addition to general neurology clinics there is a specialist MS treatment clinic and a TIA clinic. The consultants have a range of specialist interests including neuromuscular disease, multiple sclerosis, memory disorders and vascular neurology.
We provide both outpatient and inpatient services. There are eight outpatient clinics per week (seven at Chelsea and Westminster and one at the South Westminster Centre). Day cases are seen in the medical day unit for assessment, complex investigations, lumbar puncture and intravenous treatment. The department has a close working relationship with the neurophysiology department, the radiology department, the acute stroke unit and the Royal Brompton Hospital. We provide training to specialist registrars in neurology, medical senior house officers and pre-registration house officers, as well as medical students from Imperial College.
