The department's objective is to help patients regain their autonomy through education, support and outpatient follow-up. It ensures both the operation of patients and their support, to promote an early return home. In the same spirit, outpatient care is also prioritised and surgical activity optimised to facilitate access to care within a reasonable timeframe.

The Neurology Service manages the diagnostic and therapeutic care of patients suffering from neurological conditions, often in collaboration with other services such as neuroradiology, neurosurgery , neurorehabilitation and internal medicine specialty services.
