Although one of the smaller Neurosurgical units in the country we take pride in the quality and range of Neurosurgical services we provide.

Paediatric Neurosurgery is undertaken at the Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital. The ARI unit operates within the remit of the Managed Service Network for Neurosurgery in Scotland. It enables access to services in the larger units in Glasgow and Edinburgh for some interventions such as Interventional Neuroradiology, complex paediatric surgery, functional neurosurgery.

We have a very cohesive spine service with on call shared with two Orthopaedic Spine surgeons.

Neurosurgery has an in-patient ward with 17 beds. There is also a co joined ward for Neurology patients. Neurophysiology and a planned investigation unit are also on the same floor.
