This is a multidisciplinary specialty comprising neurophysiology consultants, junior doctors, neurophysiology scientists, nurses and administration. The team works closely with other specialties particularly neurology and neurosurgery.
The immediate appeal of the specialty is that of being able to help solve or greatly enhance diagnoses using neurodiagnostic investigations.
