Why a Brain & Spine Centre?
More than 3m people in the UK have conditions which affect the brain,its spine and the peripheral nervous system and these constitute the most common cause of death and serious disability in the population.
By forming a Brain & Spine Faculty and developing an associated clinical service, the benefits of an extensive departmental structure is integrated with the rapid access of the private sector.
"The Centre ’s multi-disciplinary approach to patient care is, in effect, a medical one-stop shop for all matters concerning the brain and its spine", explains Peter Hamlyn,neurological and spinal surgeon.
Accessing the Brain & Spine Centre
Anyone can seek the help of the specialists at the Brain and Spine
Centre, 30 Devonshire Street. However, General Practitioners remain the
prime contact point for patient management and care.
Patients with brain and spine problems can be referred
to the Brain & Spine Centre as a medically insured person or someone
who has chosen to self-fund their specialist analysis, treatment and
care.
Our specialists and consultants are accredited by the private medical insurers and patients will need to follow the procedures set out by their insurer, which may include the need for pre-authorisation.
Once a patient has decided that care is to be provided privately - in conjunction with the GP who will write a referral letter to the Brain & Spine Centre or independently - a telephone appointment can be made for a time that is convenient to the patient.
