How to refer to the NMOSD service
Send a referral letter to Dr Saif Huda, at The Walton Centre, Liverpool OR Professor Jacqui Palace at Oxford, giving a brief history of the patient’s condition and/or symptoms.

Referrals received from consultant neurologists will be accepted, referrals direct from GPs will be accepted if it is likely the patient has NMOSD or if the patient has AQP4 or MOG antibodies.
