• Measuring electrical activity in the brain by attaching electrodes to the patient’s scalp and monitoring results (known as electroencephalography – EEG).
• Assisting doctors specialising in clinical neurophysiology with measuring electrical activity in the muscles by inserting a fine needle into the patient’s muscles requiring investigation (known as electromyography – EMG).
• Testing the function of nerves in the body by attaching pads that produce small electrical pulses to the patient (known as nerve conduction studies – NCS).
• Conducting tests with patients by monitoring nerve pathway function in response to stimuli such as flashing lights or sounds (known as evoked potentials – EPs).
• Monitoring brain, nerve and muscle function while patients are asleep.
• Using necessary tests to monitor the effects of drug treatments and medical procedures.
• Maintaining detailed patient records and test results.
• Researching neurological disorders and developing new diagnostic techniques.
• Interpreting test results and providing diagnostic information.
• Working with other medical staff to determine diagnoses and treatment.
