Join Dr Neil Archibald as he chats to Mr Surash Surash, consultant neurosurgeon at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne.

We cover:

• what does Surash do all day?
• just how common is cauda equina syndrome?
• what should we do about foot drop?
• how neurosurgeons manage subarachnoid haemorrhage
• what is new in neuro-oncology and tumour surgery

As ever, we hear what advice he would give his trainee self.
