We are based in a state of the art hospital completed in 2006 with a dedicated neuro-intensive care unit , theatre suite and ward. The neurosurgical team works closely with our colleagues in the allied neurosciences of neurology, neuroradiology, neurophysiology, neuropathology and neuropsychology. Apart from treating patients we have an important role in training junior surgeons, in teaching undergraduate students and in contributing to neurosurgical research.
The Unit has expanded in recent years to a complement of seven Consultant Neurosurgeons covering all the key neurosurgical subspecialties.
The Integrated Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy team provide specialist acute assessment and early rehabilitation for patients following a neurological injury or insult. The Occupational Therapy team evaluate patients' previous level of function and determine needs for discharge home and develop independence in activities of daily living. Physiotherapists assess and mobilise patients post-operatively, developing specific rehabilitation programs in addition to providing chest care for critically ill neurosurgical patients. The team has strong links throughout the Essex Region and with Neuroscience colleagues in London.
