Clinical curriculum

The curriculum comprises:

  • evacuation of obstructing lesions
  • neuro-oncological surgery (awake and asleep craniotomies, trans-sphenoidal pituitary surgery)
  • cerebrovascular surgery (AVMs, aneurysms, intracranial bypass procedures)
  • functional neurosurgery (epilepsy, deep brain stimulation)
  • interventional neuroradiology (embolisation, mechanical thrombectomy)
  • major spine surgery including deformity corrections in cooperation with spinal orthopaedic surgeons.

In addition, experience in intraoperative evoked potentials monitoring will be a part of the clinical learning.

Fellows will gain experience of Neuro Intensive Care and looking after patients in a large tertiary referral centre.
