We run specialist ataxia clinics for both adults and children with ataxia.ÌýThe service is led by consultant neurologists and is supported by a multidisciplinary team comprising of a physiotherapist, specialist nurse, an occupational therapist, and a speech and language therapist.ÌýThis service has been set-up in direct response to needs identified by people affected by ataxia, as well as clinicians with expertise in the condition.ÌýThere is also a team of medical researchers and a research trial co-ordinator who attend clinics. For more information on our clinical services including referral process to our Ataxia Centre, please visit the page Our Clinical Services below.
Families have access to a more comprehensive support and advice service. After the clinic visit patients have the opportunity to talk to a representative from the ataxia patient support organisation . The representatives have direct experience of ataxia and will offer emotional and practical support, as well and information on the services Ataxia UK offers.
