Nine consultant neurosurgeons, all of whom hold senior positions at London renowned teaching hospitals, treat the full range of adult neurosurgical conditions including brain tumours, degenerative disease of the spine including nerve compression, vascular conditions such as cerebral aneurysms and brain or spinal injuries.
The Wellington has the largest diagnostic and imaging unit in the private sector and facilities include two MRI scanners and an ultrafast 64 slice CT plus the full range of X-ray and Ultrasound technology.
Depending on the circumstances of each patient, where surgery is required, a consultant can arrange for the operation to be performed without delay or, for less acute cases, at a mutually convenient time.
Anaesthetic services are provided by experienced specialist neuroanaesthetists and post-operative care is provided by an intensive care unit situated immediately adjacent to the theatre suite. Unique in the private sector, the hospital has over 50 critical care beds and two level three Intensive Care Units.
If surgery is not necessary, the Wellington Hospital offers a full range of other services including specialist pain relief and neurorehabilitation. Radio surgery and radiotherapy using the latest technology is also available when required.

Head injury and severe head injury treatment in London
Each year over a million people visit UK hospitals with a head injury. Approximately 135,000 of those will have to be admitted because of the severity of their injury.
Severe head injuries usually mean that the brain has been damaged in some way. Road traffic accidents are one of the most common causes of severe head injuries.
The Wellington has the facilities and expertise to treat all types of head injuries including skull fractures, brain haemorrhage, and conditions occurring from infections, comas, and brain damage
Brain tumour treatment in London
The Wellington also treats a wide range of brain tumours. Surgery, Radiotherapy or Chemotherapy may be used alone or in combination to treat brain tumours. The choice of treatment will depend on whether you have a primary or secondary brain tumour.
Surgery can range from having a biopsy to find out which type of tumour is present, to a major operation where the tumour is completely removed through conventional surgical methods or Stereotactic Radiosurgery.
Following investigations to find out exactly what type of brain tumour is present, your Consultant will plan your treatment with you by taking into consideration a number of factors, such as the particular type of tumour, its location and accessibility and your general health, requirements and wishes.
Stroke treatment in London
Improving your chances of a better recovery after a stroke will depend largely on the quality of the rehabilitation support you receive, combined with your own motivation and determination to overcome the physical and emotional changes that a stroke can cause.
