**The Department**
The Department of Neurology has long been recognised as one of the major clinical and research strengths of Alfred Health. Core activities of the department include:
Clinical services: The Neurology Unit at The Alfred is recognised as one of the premier clinical neurology departments. There are specialist clinics (and consultants with particular expertise) in Movement Disorders, Neuropathy, Headache, Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, Stroke and Neurogenetics. There is an active Neurophysiology Department providing EEG, EMG, Evoked potential studies and Tremor analysis and a strong neuropsychology service. The intensive care unit, trauma service, state-wide heart-lung transplant service and the HIV service result in complex referrals such that inpatient inter-unit consultations are a central element of the unit’s work and expertise.
Research: The Department currently is involved in both translational research and clinical research in clinical trials. Clinical research, including clinical trials and observational practice, are closely integrated with the clinical services of the Department - enhancing clinical care outcomes, treatment options for our patients, and promoting innovation and advances in neurological practice. Subspecialties in which clinical trials are performed include, Epilepsy, Neurotrauma, Dementing and Neurodegenerative Disorders, Movement Disorders, Headache and Pain, Demyelinating Disorders and Stroke. The infrastructure for clinical trials in the Alfred Department of Neurology will be greatly enhanced with the opening early in 2018 of the new dedicated Neurology Clinical Trials unit in 7 West, which has capacity for early stage (First in Disease) clinical trials and overnight stay.
Education and training: to both undergraduate and postgraduate medical and science students and advanced trainees in neurology.
Commercialisation and industry engagement: including commercialisation of discoveries emanating from the basic and clinical research program, and engagement with industry to trial and develop advances in neurological treatment.
