Functional neurosurgery is an advanced field that involves the restoration of neurological conditions and functions. We treat various chronic neurological disorders using a variety of advanced techniques such as highly focused neuromodulation and deep brain stimulation.
Our highly specialised multi-disciplined team includes doctors and surgeons from a broad range of specialties such as neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychology, neurogenetics, neuropsychiatry neurophysiology, speech and language therapists and specialist nurses.
