The service is run by Dr Nassif Mansour a GP with Extended Role in Neurology and supported by our administration team.
When patients are seen in the service, the doctor has full access to their medical records, as held by their GP. This is on the basis that the patient gives their consent to access. This will allow the doctor to see any past history or current medications that may be affecting the condition being reviewed and also supports the seamless transfer of information between the Community Clinics and the patients' own registered GP.
