leading specialists and incredibly dedicated staff delivering excellent clinical
outcomes for brain, spinal and neurological care both national and

world-class service in diagnosing and treating injuries and illnesses affecting
the brain, spine and peripheral nerves and muscles, and in supporting people
suffering from a wide range of long-term neurological conditions. We serve a
catchment area of 3.5 million people across Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire,
Greater Manchester, the Isle of Man, north Wales and beyond with service
