The Department of Clinical Neurology based at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital provides neuro-medical services to a population of approximately 2 million people in North Trent. The catchment population includes Barnsley, Chesterfield, Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield, Lincoln and Worksop, as well as some of the Peak District. Each of these centres has regular outpatient clinics staffed by a Consultant Neurologist.
In addition to providing outpatient Neurology services we have two wards at the Royal Hallamshire where acute in-patient services are provided, and a Programmed Investigation Unit which provides day-care treatment and investigation.
We have sophisticated teams of nurse specialists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists who ensure continuity and excellence of care in the community.
Please bear with us.
We are currently introducing a new computer system which brings all a patient’s record into one place rather than spread across lots of different systems. Aspects of the information transferred from our old system to the new one, along with the format of some neurology outpatient clinics is being reconfigured as part of this change which means there has been a temporary disruption to booking some appointments. Work to resolve this is underway. Our clinical teams are continuing to prioritise the most urgent appointments, and we will contact all patients who are waiting for an appointment as normal when their appointment date is scheduled. Our waiting times for the majority of appointments remain broadly the same. If you are currently waiting and have further questions or your circumstances have changed, please do not hesitate to contact: 0114 27 11598.
