BPS Division of Neuropsychology Post-qualification Training Day (in association with the Royal College of Psychiatrists - Section of Neuropsychiatry).
"Neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan"
Convenor: Dr Simon Fleminge
This is the first training day to be jointly organised by the BPS Division of Neuropsychology and the newly formed Section of Neuropsychiatry of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCP). We have chosen a topic of interest to both neuropsychologists and neuropsychiatrists, whether working in child and adolescent or in adult mental health services.
The effects of ADHD and Autistic Spectrum Disorders in childhood are generally well recognised. We want to focus on what happens when the child with these neurodevelopmental disorders becomes an adult. This CPD event will cover aetiology, psychological processes, treatment and service provision.
