Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or disorders of the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, as well as related nerves, muscles, and their blood supplies. Conditions treated include seizures, migraines and Parkinson’s disease, among others.
Doctors specialising in the field of neurology are called neurologists and are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with neurological disorders.
We have a specialist service for assessment and treatment of patients with a range of brain and nerve disorders based at the Leicester General Hospital. This includes specialist clinics, investigations and referrals to other specialties to treat symptoms as well as links with community services.
