Our Services

General Neurology

25 minute appointments for patients with epilepsy or seizures, Parkinson’s disease or other movement disorders, headache or facial pain, and balance disturbance.

Dementia Assessment

55 minute appointments for patients who are concerned about their memory, speech or changes in behaviour. Please attend this appointment with a relative, as their perspective is valuable.

Neuropsychiatry

55 minute appointments for patients with problems with thinking, mood or behaviour after stroke, head injury, or other brain illnesses. I will also see patients with musical hallucinations and tic disorders.

Follow-up

While a single appointment for assessment is often sufficient to diagnose and treat brain diseases, or to put your mind at ease if my assessment is reassuring, I offer ongoing follow-up, generally in appointments of half the duration of your initial assessment.

Prices for self-pay

My pricing is always transparent:

25 minute General Neurology Initial Assessment with Dr Cope: £300

Insured patients

For general neurology appointments I accept Aviva, Cigna, Vitality, Healix, WPA, Allianz, HCML, TriCare and Alliance but I am unfortunately NOT currently in a position to accept Bupa or AXA for general neurology. Those insured by other providers should enquire. 
 
For neuropsychiatry and dementia/memory assessments I will see all patients, including those insured by BUPA and AXA, but you must ensure that you are pre-authorised for a neuropsychiatry assessment (procedure code 20390) NOT for a general neurology consultation.
 
For dementia assessments all patients, regardless of insurer, will be billed directly and will need to re-claim from their insurer.
