When you come to an appointment, you will see a neurologist or a neurology registrar.
A neurology registrar is a doctor training to become a specialist, under the supervision of a neurologist.
They will ask about you and review any medications you are on. They may also review any old notes and previous problems you have had.
The doctors will then do some tests to investigate your condition.
This may include testing:
- your memory and concentration
- other aspects of thinking processes.
It also involves examining how well the nerves to your head and body are working. They may also do a physical examination of parts of your body affected by your condition.
The specialist, registrar, or house surgeon will discuss your diagnosis with you. They may also recommend further tests or treatments.
They will then talk to your healthcare provider about:
- your diagnosis
- results of tests
- a treatment plan.
You may have come for follow up appointments in our clinic or receive further care from your healthcare provider.
In some cases you may be admitted to hospital for treatment or testing.
