Mr Selway has been a Consultant Neurosurgeon since 2001. He studied medicine and neuroanatomy in Cambridge and had specialist training in Birmingham, Cambridge, Oxford and in London where he completed a fellowship in functional neurosurgery. He also gained a first class degree in mathematics and was awarded the Norman Dott Gold Medal by the Royal College of Surgeons in 1999.

As Clinical Director for Neurosciences at King’s College Hospital, he is responsible for one of the largest departments in United Kingdom. Much of his work centres around the use of multidisciplinary teams to ensure the right patient reaches the right clinician. This is particularly important for spinal disorders when both surgical and non-surgical techniques must be combined to obtain the optimum outcome for the individual.

In addition to his expertise in spinal disease, including the management of back, neck and arm pain and sciatica, he specialises in the neurosurgery of epilepsy and movement disorders in both adults and children, with a nationwide as well as international practice for both disorders.

Mr Selway’s research work has focused on the delivery and measurement of high quality patient care through multidisciplinary expertise in a variety of diseases as well as in the techniques of neuro-stimulation in dystonia and epilepsy. He has more than 150 publications.

Mr Bhangoo is a Consultant Neurologist with specialist interest in brain tumours, radiosurgery (including CyberKnife) and adult spinal surgery.

After his general surgical training (Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons, England), his specialist training in neurosurgery was completed on the West Midlands neurosurgical rotation and he was awarded the Norman Dott Gold Medal in Neurosurgery on completion of his training as the highest ranked neurosurgical trainee in the United Kingdom. Following this, Mr Bhangoo spent one year studying both the medical and surgical treatments of brain tumours as well as undertaking research at one of Europe’s leading cancer institute – The Institute Gustauve Roussy, Paris, France.

In addition to his knowledge in all areas of cranial and spinal neurosurgery; including degenerative spine disease which incorporates the management of back and neck pain, arm pain and sciatica together with peripheral nerve disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, he has specialist expertise in the management of brain and spinal tumours. This includes the latest minimally invasive techniques for brain tumour removal as well as radiosurgery. He is one of the few neurosurgeons in the UK trained in both GammaKnife and CyberKnife radiosurgery for treating these conditions.

Currently he is Clinical Director for Neuroscience at King’s College Hospital in London and the Neurosurgical Tutor to the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology.
