Services
In addition to offering regular outpatient clinics in Dundee, Arbroath and Perth, we have a large ward at our base in Ninewells Hospital for inpatient and day patient treatment of a variety of neurological conditions. It is staffed by nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists with a specialist interest in neurological illness and its rehabilitation.
Standards
We are actively working with Healthcare Improvement Scotland to improve the delivery of neurology care throughout Tayside, Perthshire, Angus and North Fife. We are involved in the implementation of "Clinical Standards for Neurological Health Services".
Community
We have excellent links with General Practice and Public Health in addition to local community and charity groups who, along with our specialist nurses, are working towards improving the care of neurological illness in the community and in particular, for deprived and vulnerable groups.
Education and Research
As part of the University of Dundee, our staff are actively involved in a variety of research projects. We are proud to be involved in the teaching of undergraduate students in medicine, science and nursing.
We are also part of the East of Scotland Deanery, and have taught GPs, physicians, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons and neurologists, many of whom now practice across the world.
