At Newcastle Neuro Speech Pathology, we have a special interest in:

• Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)

• Neurodegenerative conditions (Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neuron Disease etc.)

• Acquired neurological conditions (stroke, traumatic brain injury etc.)

• Age-related conditions (Alzheimer’s disease, dementia)

• Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)

• Conditions connected to mental health
