Sheffield Ataxia Centre (SAC)

The Sheffield Ataxia Centre (SAC) is based at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield. It is a national ataxia centre and one of only two Ataxia UK accredited centres in the UK that offers a highly specialised service for patients with ataxia.

We aim to provide:

• Specialist expertise in the diagnosis and management of all ataxias
• Signposting to the allied specialty services and local multidisciplinary teams
• Research opportunities and offer links and collaboration with other ataxia centres and allied specialties
• An MDT approach with input from the consultants and specialist nurses

Referrals

Patients interested in obtaining an opinion from the ataxia clinic should discuss with their doctor for a referral. Referrals are accepted from GPs (by NHS e-Referral Service), consultant neurologists and allied specialities throughout the UK.
