What is the Bristol Centre for Clinical Neuropsychology?
The Department of Neuropsychology at Frenchay Hospital and the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Bristol collaborate in relation to Clinical Neuropsychology through the Bristol Centre for Clinical Neuropsychology (BCCN).
The BCCN forum is the creation of Dr Martin Bunnage, Clinical Neuropsychologist and Dr Kit Pleydell-Pearce, Academic Neuropsychologist
The BCCN's intended goal is to facilitate neuropsychological research of direct clinical relevance and to apply contemporary research findings to clinical practice.
