About
The Walton Centre is a leader in the treatment and care of neurology and neurosurgery, placing the patient and their family at the heart of everything we do. As the only specialist hospital trust in the UK dedicated to providing comprehensive neurology, neurosurgery, spinal and pain management services we are proud to be rated as an ‘Outstanding’ Trust by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and champion change throughout the field of neuroscience. Originally formed in 1992, the Trust received Foundation Trust status in 2009.
We have leading specialists and incredibly dedicated staff delivering excellent clinical outcomes for brain, spinal and neurological care both national and internationally. Teams across our site in Fazakerley, Liverpool, offer a world-class service in diagnosing and treating injuries and illnesses affecting the brain, spine and peripheral nerves and muscles, and in supporting people suffering from a wide range of long-term neurological conditions.
We serve a catchment area of 3.5 million people across Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, the Isle of Man, north Wales and beyond with service partnerships with 18 NHS hospitals. Our ‘Walton Clinics’ model on 44 sites providing care for neurology means that many people are able to access outpatient consultations and many tests closer to home, and takes specialist services as close to service users as possible.
This satellite model of care for neurology means that many patients are able to access outpatient consultations and many tests closer to home, and takes specialist services as close to patients as possible, with neurosurgery, highly specialised assessments and inpatient care being undertaken at The Walton Centre.

The Neurology service is delivered by a multi-skilled professional team, and sees over 75,000 new and follow-up patients as well as treating over 4,500 inpatients.
We have a dedicated Neuroscience Research Centre which runs a range of research studies, linking with partners in industry, academia and the NHS.
Our Pain Management Programme is regarded as a model of best practice for helping patients with severe and chronic pain.
Our Neuroradiology service is the most comprehensive in the UK, with four MRI scanners; two biplane intervention rooms and the most advanced CT scanner available.
Underpinning all our work is a learning culture that empowers staff to believe they can make and lead change, be curious and seek continuous improvement. Our Walton way values – dignity, respect, caring, pride, and openness - are at the heart of this culture.
