Neurology
The Walton Centre is renowned for providing exceptional care to people suffering with neurological problems and long-term conditions. The Trust’s consultant neurologists run 15 satellite general neurology clinics in hospitals around the North West and North Wales, delivering care near to patients’ homes, and ward referrals within those hospitals. At the Centre, there is an inpatient and on-call service for neurological patients from across the region, and both general and many sub-specialist outpatient clinics.
The sub-specialist clinics cover the full range:
- epilepsy
- Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and movement disorders, ataxias, neurogenetic disorders
- multiple sclerosis (MS), other demyelinating disorders of the nervous system including transverse myelitis and neuromyelitis optica
- dementia
- neuromuscular disease
- motor neurone disease
- TIA and cerebrovascular disease
- myasthenia gravis
- headache
- infectious disorders of the nervous system
The Centre has strong multidisciplinary working, with specialist nurses in epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, deep brain stimulation and myasthenia. They maintain regular contact with patients through clinics, group sessions, telephone and e-mail and, for some, also home visits.
