The Wellington Neurosurgical Unit

The Wellington Hospital was the first private hospital in the United Kingdom to establish a comprehensive, self-contained Neurosurgical Unit. Since its inception in 1990, the Unit has continued to develop its facilities and is now widely regarded as the country’s leading private neurosurgical service.

The clinical service is currently provided by seven of London’s leading neurosurgeons, all of whom are on the staff of nearby teaching and postgraduate hospitals. In the course of their work, these consultants deal with the full range of adult neurosurgical disorders including tumours of the brain, cranial nerves, spinal cord and spinal column; degenerative disease of the spine including nerve compression; vascular conditions such as cerebral aneurysms and arteriovascular malformations; and traumatic damage to the brain, cranium and spine.
