What's included in the service?

The Neurology service includes the following, as needed:

  • An online assessment, reviewed by a consultant neurologist, with a letter in your online account advising you on next steps, usually within three working days.
  • A video or phone consultation with your neurologist after your assessment, if you'd like to chat through anything.

If you use this service, this will count as a consultation, and affect any out-patient limit, specialist consultations limit, or any contribution you normally make towards treatment each year.
