Medico-legal expertise
Since 2004, I have established a medico-legal practice, and work within a department that has considerable experience in this area. I am able to offer expert specialist opinions on manyareas of neurological practice – including the neurological consequences of trauma (such as headache, post-concussion syndrome, headache and exacerbation of existing conditions such as multiple sclerosis). Clients are assessed in the private consulting rooms at Queen Square, 63 Great Ormond Street, London WC1N 3BG or at 30 Devonshire Street, London W1G 6PU.
Clinical and academic expertise
My medico-legal work is supported and informed by my clinical and academic practice as a consultant neurologist at UCLH NHS Trust, which is a large London teaching hospital, and The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square. General neurology
I manage and deliver a service that is actively involved in a wide-range of neurological problems, including headache, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, peripheral nerve and muscle disorders, and stroke. I am one of 6 neurologists providing a liaison service to a range of departments in UCLH, including A&E, medicine, oncology and the surgical specialities. Dr Dominic Heaney MA MRCP PhD

Epilepsy

I maintain a specialist interest in epilepsy, and I work as an honorary
senior lecturer with the Department of Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy,
who have an international reputation in terms of management of complex
epilepsy – including neuro-surgical treatment. In liaison with A&E and
acute services I have established and direct a first seizure/syncope
diagnostic clinic
, which establishes precise diagnosis, treatment and
prognosis for individuals who have suffered episodes of loss of
consciousness – including those occurring in relation to traumatic head
injuries.
Obstetric neurology Together with a consultant obstetrician and consultant obstetric physician,
I co-direct the UK’s only obstetric-neurology clinic. This clinic
specialises in the pre-conception counselling, pregnancy, and immediate
post-natal care of women who become pregnant with – or who develop –
neurological problems in relation to pregnancy. Through this clinic I have
also developed expertise in the area of teratogenesis in relation to drugs
used to treat neurological conditions in pregnancy.
Academic
Through my PhD research, I have an academic background in economic
outcomes research, and continue to publish on issues concerning the
social, employment and economic outcomes of neurological illness.
Clinical Governance Through my NHS Practice, I am actively involved in clinical governance,
but have particular expertise through my role as Deputy Caldicott Guardian and also NHNN representative on the UCLH Use of Medicines Committee.

PhD thesis (University of London, 2002): “Anti-epileptic drugs: economic considerations
in clinical practice”

The economic impact of anti-epileptic drugs was investigated using modelling techniques and also methods that incorporated patient preferences. Research was based on a large number of patient interviews performed within a clinical setting. Socio-economic factors were considered. Cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analyses were performed. Overall, my research demonstrated that economic evaluation is most meaningful in clinical practice when it incorporates patient opinion.
