The Neuro Clinic

We talk to James Burch from Decently about the development of the Melo app for the assessment and management of challenging behaviour in neurorehabilitation settings. We are joined by James' collaborators Anna Lee and Alistair Teager from Salford Royal Hospital. 

Professor Turnbull discusses his popular new book, Mistakes in Clinical Neuropsychology which is co-authored with Rudi Coetzer and Christian Salas

We talk to Alistair Teager, Nadiia Rechun (Clinical Psychologist), and Marina Myntsykovska (Interpreter) about working neuropsychologically in the context of the war in Ukraine.

Cliodhna and Ingram talk to Tamsin Keyes, Publications and Research Manager at Headway UK about her work in supporting the development of evidence in the field and promoting an understanding of brain injury. 

Dr Vaughan Bell is neuropsychologist in neuropsychiatry services and a clinical psychologist in psychosis services at the Maudsley Hospital in London. He also an academic at UCL where he researchers neuropsychiatric disorders and leads neuropsychology teaching within Clinical Psychology.

Dr Bell argues that the roots of clinical neuropsychology lie in neurological and neurorehabilitation services and the roots in clinical psychology lie in psychiatric services. As evidence accumulates that neurological difficulties are common in people seen in mental health services and mental health problems are common in people with neurological difficulties, and patients with both often struggle to find adequate care, is it time to re-think how we orient neuropsychology at doctoral, post-doctoral, and professional level?

This conversation builds on our BPS Division of Neuropsychology perspectives lecture delivered by Dr Bell

A super enjoyable chat with Mark Holloway, brain injury social worker. 

Alex talks about her experience of conducting research into the assessment of mood following severe traumatic brain injury. She also shares her perspective on work in an inpatient neurorehabilitation setting. 

Mike, Cliodhna and Ingram talk about how Mike got into surgery and paedaitric work in particular. We delve into to the physical, cognitive and team oriented demands of work in nueorsurgical theatres and, of course, the relationship with neuropsychology. 

Professor Anderson joins us to discuss career development in paediatric neuropsychology, the wider developments in the field, and the challenges and opportunities of this work. 

A rather rambling and content free introduction to Series 2 of the neuro clinic. It is a pleasure to be working with Cliodhna Carroll on this series and to have such a fantastic array of guests coming up...... Vicki Anderson (Paediatric Neuropsychology), Mike Carter (Neurosurgery), Ryan Van Patten and John Belone on Neuropsychology podcasting, and much more.
