Introduction

We provide diagnostic and therapeutic service for children with neurological disorders within HKCH. We also receive consultation referrals from other paediatric specialists outside HKCH for children with epilepsy including drug resistant epilepsy or neuro-metabolic / neurodegenerative diseases / movement disorders or rare neuromuscular diseases.

Our comprehensive neurology service is supported by a broad spectrum of professionals including paediatric neurologists, developmental-behavioural paediatricians, other specialists, nurses, pharmacists and allied health professionals. In addition, our Electrophysiology Unit is well equipped to provide neuro-diagnostic tests such as video-electroencephalogram, nerve conduction study, electromyogram and evoked potentials.

Our missions:

To provide high-quality child and family centered care, and integrated inter-disciplinary care partnering with other specialties and departments
To enhance professional and academic expertise through ongoing training, service development and scientific research
To collaborate with community partners in providing education and arranging mutual support to patients and families
