Our Service

The Neurophysiology department performs a range of diagnostic tests on the brain and nervous system. This may be as an inpatient or outpatient referral. Both adult and paediatric referrals are accepted.  Patients are referred by their hospital consultant from local and surrounding hospitals. GPs may refer for carpal tunnel syndrome only.

Tests performed are:

  • Peripheral Neurolphysiology - EMG and NCS and CTS screening.

  • EEG services including ambulatory monitoring.

  • Portable EEG service for NGH site to assist with patients unsuitable for transfer to the department.

  • Evoked potentials of the visual and sensory system.
