The Neurological Parkinson's Clinic at Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital: A Game-Changer for Northern Sydney

Celebrating its one-year anniversary, the Neurological Parkinson's Clinic at Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital has become a beacon of hope for the Parkinson's community in northern Sydney. Conveniently situated in the Outpatients Department of the hospital, this trailblazing clinic is led by a dedicated team, including Parkinson's Specialist Nurse Suliana Manuofetoa and four rotating neurologists, under the headship of Dr Omar Ahmad, the Hospital's Neurology Chief.

A second Parkinson's-focused clinic operates at the hospital, manned by a multidisciplinary Allied Health team, with a concentration on rehabilitation.

With no waiting lists and functioning under the public health system, the Neurological Parkinson's Clinic stands out by offering free, prompt care to patients. Suliana accentuates the benefits, stating, "We can refer directly to Allied Health, provide access to community services, and start patients on advanced therapies immediately when they are required." Given the concerning wait times for neurology appointments at other northern Sydney hospitals, this Clinic is also attracting patients from outside the area seeking immediate attention.

During an initial consultation, patients receive 40 minutes with a neurologist, followed by a 20-minute appointment with Suliana. Follow-up patients enjoy a 20-minute consultation with the neurologist and 20 minutes with the nurse. To date, the Clinic has catered to 50 new patients, conducted 68 neurologist follow-ups, 89 nurse follow-ups, and initiated three patients on advanced therapies. Additionally, Nurse Suliana managed 92 nurse in-patient consultations over the past year.

Patients have praise for the Clinic, with many reporting excellent service and a patient-centered approach. While specific details about appointments and patient numbers remain undisclosed, the Clinic's impact is unmistakable.
