Neurological symptoms can be worrying, especially if they are new, persistent, or affecting your ability to work, drive, or enjoy daily life. You might notice headaches, dizziness, memory problems, weakness, numbness, or changes in movement, balance, or sensation.

Conditions and symptom groups commonly seen in our neurology clinic include:
Your neurologist will work closely with you to understand your concerns and how your symptoms affect your life. Where needed, they can arrange further investigations, such as MRI or CT scans, blood tests, or nerve tests, many of which can be performed onsite or through associated diagnostic services.
Neurology appointments at Sarum Road Hospital take place in a calm, professional environment. The aim is to provide a clear explanation, explore appropriate treatment options, and support you in managing your condition over the long term.
You may be referred to a neurologist by your GP or another specialist, or you may choose to book a private neurology consultation yourself. There are many reasons to seek a specialist opinion, including:
Headaches that are frequent, debilitating or different from your usual pattern should be assessed. A neurologist can help distinguish between primary headaches such as migraine and headaches that may indicate another underlying cause.
Any unexplained loss of consciousness, fits, jerking episodes, or spells of confusion and unresponsiveness should be investigated. These may be related to epilepsy or other neurological or medical conditions.
New or progressive symptoms such as weakness in a limb, difficulty with fine hand movements, or patches of numbness or tingling can arise from problems in the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves.
Feeling unsteady, veering to one side when walking, or having a spinning sensation (vertigo) can have neurological or inner ear causes. A neurologist can help clarify the source and suggest appropriate treatment or further referrals.
Shaking, tremors at rest or during activity, stiffness, slowness, or changes in your walking pattern may be signs of a movement disorder such as Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor.
Difficulties with memory, language, decision-making, or changes in behaviour or personality may require detailed assessment. A neurologist can initiate investigations and, where appropriate, refer you on for neuropsychology or memory clinic support.
Burning pain, pins and needles, muscle cramps, or reduced sensation can be related to nerve or muscle disorders. Early assessment can help identify potentially treatable causes.
You may also be advised to see a neurologist after certain investigations, such as an abnormal brain scan or nerve test, or following a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA), to guide further management and reduce the risk of future events.
If you are unsure whether your symptoms are neurological, discussing them with your GP or booking an initial consultation can be a helpful first step. At Sarum Road Hospital, your neurologist will take your concerns seriously, explain their thinking clearly, and involve you in decisions about your care.
A neurology consultation at Sarum Road Hospital is designed to be detailed and structured, while still giving you time to talk through your worries and ask questions. Although every appointment is individual, it will usually include:
Your consultant will ask you to describe your symptoms in your own words. You may be asked:
If you have kept a diary of symptoms, or if someone close to you has observed episodes (for example, seizures or blackouts), bringing them or their notes can be helpful.
You will be asked about your general health, any previous illnesses, operations, or injuries, and what medications you take, including over-the-counter or herbal remedies. Your neurologist may also ask about any family history of neurological or other relevant conditions.
A physical and neurological examination is an essential part of the assessment. This is usually painless and may include checks of:
Your consultant will explain what they are doing and what they are looking for as they go along.
Based on your history and examination, your neurologist will explain what they think may be causing your symptoms. Sometimes, a working diagnosis can be made at the first appointment. In other cases, there may be several possibilities that need further investigation.
If additional tests are needed, your neurologist will outline which ones they recommend, why they are necessary, and what they involve. They will also discuss any initial treatment or lifestyle advice that may help while investigations are ongoing.
Throughout the consultation, you will have the opportunity to ask questions. Your consultant will aim to explain complex neurological information in clear, straightforward language, so you can understand your condition and feel confident about the next steps.
Accurate diagnosis is central to effective neurological care. At Sarum Road Hospital, your neurologist has access to a range of modern diagnostic tests and procedures, either onsite or through specialist diagnostic centres. These may include:
Additional assessments such as neuropsychological, vestibular tests, or cardiovascular monitoring
Your neurologist will only recommend tests that are likely to add useful information to your diagnosis or management plan. Before any test or procedure, you will have the opportunity to discuss why it is needed, what to expect, and how you will receive the results.
Once test results are available, a follow-up appointment is usually arranged to review them with you in detail and to agree a treatment plan. This may involve medication, lifestyle changes, referrals to other specialists such as physiotherapists, or ongoing neurological follow-up.
