Neurosurgery
Our neurosurgery service covers central southern England and provides a comprehensive service for patients with all categories of neurosurgical disease. We cover the following major areas of practice:
- head injury
- neurovascular surgery
- neuro-oncology
- skull base and pituitary surgery
- epilepsy surgery
- paediatric neurosurgery
- functional neurosurgery (trigeminal neuralgia etc.)
Most outpatient clinics are held at Southampton General Hospital. Outreach clinics are also provided in Poole, Portsmouth, Chichester and Basingstoke.
Referrals
The majority of patient referrals come from consultants at local general hospitals. We only accept GP referrals for a limited number of conditions.
To make an urgent or emergency inpatient referral, please call 023 8077 7222 and ask for the on-call specialist registrar on bleep number 2877.
Referrers will be asked to complete an online form which can be viewed at www.neurorefer.co.uk. Please note, there is a separate form for referrals that relate to neuro-oncology - we require this in order for your patient to be discussed at our MDT meeting.
