McHugh JC, Bradley D, Hutchinson M, Brett F, Heffernan J, Howley R, Farrell M, Tubridy N. Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: first two indigenous cases in Republic of Ireland. Case report and perspective. Eur J Neurol 2007 Apr;14(4):467-9. Costelloe L, O'Rourke K, Kearney H, McGuigan C, Gribbin L, Duggan M, Daly L, Tubridy N, Hutchinson M. The patient knows best: significant change in the physical component of the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29 physical). J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2007 Aug;78(8):841-4. Future Plans GP-led Migraine Clinic – we plan to have a weekly GP-led migraine clinic for the many thousands of people with migraine in our area and require funding for the GPs sessions, a migraine registrar and a migraine nurse. Such an investment would substantially reduce attendances at the Emergency Department and thus hospital admissions. It would have a major impact for our patients in terms of waiting times and overall economic savings would be substantial. Audit Consultation service for in-patients of all services The Neurology service sees 10-20 in-patients with neurological problems each week. Over a 6-month period, 254 referrals were seen. There was a significant change in diagnosis in 55%, and in management in nearly 70%. Neurological referral facilitated earlier discharge for 65% patients. Neurology in the Emergency Department (ED). We previously performed an audit of the ED admissions at SVUH that had a neurological problem. Between 13and 15% of all ED admissions had a neurological problem. The most common conditions were headaches (19%), post-traumatic neurological signs (16%), seizures (10%), stroke (17%), loss of consciousness (6%), and dizzy/syncope (6%). Teaching The Department has an excellent reputation in teaching under-graduate and post-graduate students Department runs the MRCP examinations three times a year We also run an annual MRCPI course in Neurology as well as in hospital MRCP teaching sessions there times a year.

Department of Clinical Neurophysiology Clinical Neurophysiology Department The Department of Clinical Neurophysiology is part of the South Dublin Clinical Neurophysiology Service, which also includes units at St James’s Hospital and the Meath & Adelaide Hospitals, incorporating the National Children’s Hospital (AMNCH) at Tallaght. As this service is currently run by one Consultant, it is best to consider this service as a whole. The range of investigative/diagnostic services provided include routine Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS), Needle Electromyography (EMG), Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST), Electroencephalography (EEG) and Evoked Potentials (EPs). Research, currently being carried out mainly at the AMNCH and St Vincent’s University Hospital Departments, includes research collaborations with the department of electrical and electronic engineering at UCD and with Dr Geraldine Boylan in the department of paediatrics and child health, UCC. Clinical Neurophysiology Staffing Consultant, and Head of Department: Dr Sean Connolly, MD, FRCPI [Voicemail: 2094541; E-mail: sean.connolly@ucd.ie] Neurophysiology Measurement Technologists: There are two senior technologists, one permanent (Ms Brigid Clark) and one on a fixed term contract (Ms Anne Bjerke).
