Addressing the needs of patients and their family: Conclusion Charlotte Dravet
Dravet's career is striking for her involvement with patients, families and support groups, working not only to stop seizures, but to help families deal with a scary diagnosis, and to help children reach their full neurocognitive potential.
This is the goal of every child neurologist. 16/🪑
To celebrate 150 issues of the 39 Essex Chambers Mental Capacity Report, @torbc.bsky.social and I recorded a chat about where we've come from in the Court of Protection, and where we might be going: vimeo.com/1078633857
I was asked by the Neuropsychoanalysis society to write an article about FND in response to one by Mark Solms discussing how predictive processing could map on to psychoanalytic ideas. doi.org/10.1080/1529... 1/
A wee shout out to all UK based Clinical Neuropsychologists / Clinical psychologists in neuropsychology:
If you’re a member of the BPS, you’ll have an email from them today about an upcoming survey about the BPS qualifications consultation, including the QiCN.
Please do fill this in!
It’s DClinPsych interview season again! So thought I’d share this video we made some years back about preparing for interviews with a Neuropsychology background!

Lovely/comprehensive review of metacognition and functional neurological disorder; a condition that demands a metacognitive interpretation: doi.org/10.1093/brai...
The emerging picture aligns with findings in psychopathology more broadly—metacognitive performance is often equivalent to controls.
This is fantastic news; thanks for sharing Sarah!
I loved the use of language in this book, and the shifts from typical phrasings you refer to. It pulls you in deeper into the story & imagining you’re in the space with them.
The hours of mulling over the story & reflecting on current affairs - almost like an ear-worm!
Will be curious to hear your thoughts on Prophet Song. I finished it recently. Not something I would usually choose but an Irish author winning the Booker prize lured me in!
Are there any US-based #neuropsychologists here who might be open to a chat about differences in cognitive testing between the US and UK?
Thanks so much!

Hello Blue Sky! First time posting here ☺️🏡
Second Blog Post! An introduction to visualising test scores in neuropsychology - because we all like pretty plots right...?
@donbps.bsky.social
Same in the UK. As an adult trained neuropsychologist dabbling in paediatrics, I’ve been on my soapbox about this for a while!
Opening our BlueSky posts by sharing these new BPS guidelines on commissioning NHS neuropsychology services, co-authored by Director Dr Shai Betteridge. Hopeful that this helps support better access to neuropsychology for all! #neuropsychology #guidelines
Shocking! Let’s hope they manage to do something in an information vacuum!
