Inclusion Criteria for General Neurology Clinics
We treat patients aged 16 and above from within the POWH local district with general neurological symptoms not requiring management at one of our speciality clinics for issues such as headaches, dizziness, and memory issues.
Exclusion Criteria for General Neurology Clinics
Due to the demand on the General Neurology Clinic, if the patient does not meet the requirements for a speciality clinic review such as Nerve & Muscle or Epilepsy Clinic, and the patient does not live within the local area they will be referred back to their local hospital or district health service for management. We do not see patients under the age of 16 years.
