The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), sometimes referred to as Queen Square after its location, has been providing care for adults* with neurological conditions for nearly 160 years and is one of the leading clinical neuroscience centres in the world. The hospital provides comprehensive services for the diagnosis, treatment and care of all conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system and muscles in state-of-the-art facilities. Newsweek has voted the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery one of the top specialist hospitals in the world.
Together with its neighbour, the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery is a major international centre for research and training.
Private outpatient services are provided in dedicated private consulting rooms at 23 Queen Square, right next door to the hospital. Alternatively, we can offer virtual appointments if these are appropriate for your condition and are more convenient for you.
If you need to be admitted for the hospital for inpatient care you will stay in our newly-refurbished Bloomsbury Private Ward , where you will be cared for by our dedicated specialist nursing team. All our allied health professionals, including occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech and language therapists, are specially trained to support patients with neurological conditions.
* We do not see children via our private neurology and neurosurgery service. If you are seeking a private appointment with a paediatric neurologist or neurosurgeon, please contact Great Ormond Street Hospital or the Portland Hospital.
