About me

Dr Forbes has been a Consultant Neurologist at The Southern HSC Trust from January 2005.
He graduated from The University of Dundee Medical School (MBChB 1992) and completed his doctorate in 2000, graduating MD(Hons).
His clinical training in general neurology was through the Regional Neurology Unit in the Royal Victoria Hospital, gaining a CCST in Adult Neurology in July 2003.
His other role is developing pathways for early assessment of neurological symptoms referred from primary care and he is responsible for teaching neurology to trainee General practitioners in Northern Ireland.
Dr Forbes has a reputation for being someone who listens and will take your symptoms seriously.
At present Dr Forbes will only accept referrals from patients who are normally resident in the Southern HSC Trust area or who have a GP who normally refers into the Southern HSC Trust. Consultant to consultant referrals are accepted irrespective of residence or location of GP.
