The Wessex Neurological Centres provides a dedicated, integrated, 24hour acute neurosurgical and neurological assessment, investigation and treatment service. It sits within a large teaching hospital Trust with clear priorities for maintaining high standards of care and developing its specialist services for the community. Serving a population of over 3 million people spread across central southern England and the Channel Islands, each year we treat approximately 4,000 inpatients and 13,000 outpatients.
Facing up to any form of illness or injury can be daunting, but perhaps even more so when the condition affects the brain. The following pages give details of the facilities and services available at the Centre, and provide information on some of the specialist support available to patients and their families. For example, our team of specialist nurses, each with a wealth of experience and knowledge in a particular area, is on hand to provide support and to answer your questions.
If you’re a patient, relative or friend, we hope you’ll find these pages to be of some use, but please feel free to contact us with your suggestions for how we can continue to improve the content of this section as we rely on you to tell us what you need.
