About Me

My name is Jane Halliday and I am a Neurosurgery consultant based in Manchester, UK. I am passionate about helping people and supporting their health and wellbeing throughout their neurosurgical journey and beyond. When not at work I try to spend as much time as I can outdoors, typically either running, cycling, open water swimming or walking. I dedicate a lot of time to learning about ways that we can achieve our best health and sense of wellbeing alongside our busy lives and work hard to apply that learning to my own life and the lives of others.

​

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. It is not simply the absence of disease or infirmity. I believe that, in addition to investigating and treating diseases, it is important to address why a disease has occurred (the root cause) and beyond that how we return to, and then remain in, good health. Having a health problem, for example a neurosurgical condition, provides an opportunity to re-evaluate your health. Not simply in terms of having the condition treated, for example removing a tumour, but as a reset point to work towards having, and then maintaining good health. I cannot overstate the benefits of this approach. The outcome of your treatment, the recovery you make and how life is for you moving forwards in terms of your sense of wellbeing will be profoundly impacted by considering your whole health - evaluating your diet, exercise and mental health - alongside your condition being treated. When I consult with you my approach is focused both on the safest way to treat your disease but also to look at your whole health and how I can help you holistically to move forwards to a place of health and wellbeing.
