Neurosurgery is a fascinating specialty that offers the prospect of curing patients with a wide range of benign pathologies as well as improving and prolonging the quality of life for patients with debilitating neurological diseases. Neurosurgery encompasses all aspects of the diagnosis, assessment, and surgical management of brain, central nervous system, and spinal pathologies.

ARI is the main acute teaching hospital in Grampian and has about 900 hospital beds.  Our close links with the University of Aberdeen have made us a centre of pioneering medical research in a number of fields.  We participate both undergraduate and post graduate trainings of doctors in neurosurgery and other neurosciences specialties.
