Patient Resources

A few things that make your visit to The Neuro Lab smoother.

What to bring

• Any previous reports, scans or prescriptions related to your condition
• A list of your current medicines
• A government photo ID

Preparing for a specific test

Preparation differs by test — for example, an EEG asks you to wash your hair the night before, while a sleep study asks you to avoid caffeine and daytime naps. See the relevant page under Services for test-specific preparation, or ask us when you book.

Travelling from another district

Tell us your town when you book and we will try to plan your consultation and tests into a single trip where possible. See our FAQs for more on travelling to us.

In an emergency

Stroke and sudden severe neurological symptoms are medical emergencies. Call for emergency help immediately rather than waiting for an appointment.
