Neurophysiologist

A Neurophysiologist specialises in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders through advanced neurophysiological testing methods. They perform electroencephalograms (EEGs), electromyography (EMGs), and nerve conduction studies to assess brain and nerve function.

The role often involves collaborating with healthcare teams to interpret results and develop treatment plans, as well as educating patients about their conditions. Additionally, they may engage in research to enhance diagnostic techniques and contribute to advancements in neurological health.
