Can I see a neurology specialist at Benenden Hospital?

Our neurology specialists support the diagnosis and management of disorders that affect the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves and muscles which trigger movement and transmit sensations from all parts of the body to the brain).

We understand that it can be worrying to come to hospital for neurology treatment, but we’re caring, discreet and easy to talk to. Alongside our Neurologists, our Neurophysiologists will work to support you with a speedy diagnosis so you don’t have to wait and worry and can get back to being you as quickly as possible.

We offer a range of private neurology services and tests in a comfortable and reassuring environment:

I have a question about neurology tests or treatments

Why would I have a private neurology consultation?

If you’ve been referred or advised to access our neurology services or need to speak with a Neurologist due to a neurological condition or symptom, we can help.

Neurologists help to treat and manage patients with conditions including stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, headaches, peripheral neuropathy, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy and muscle disease among many other conditions. They treat any disease of the body that affects neurological function. For example, high blood pressure is a cardiac problem but, if it causes a stroke (sudden loss of blood supply to the brain), the problem becomes a neurological one as well.

What happens after a neurology test or consultation?

After your consultation or diagnostic test, the results will be analysed. You’ll receive a copy of the neurology consultation and any test results and may be invited to attend a follow-up appointment to discuss the results with a neurology specialist or have additional tests.

If your results show that no further action is needed, you won’t need to come back to the hospital or your local GP, unless you have new symptoms or a change to your existing symptoms which cause concern.

We’re unable to offer neurological surgery but we can offer advice within your neurology treatment plan if required.
