Our programmes in clinical neuropsychology are delivered in partnership with North Bristol NHS Trust, which includes a large regional neurosciences and major trauma centre. Our clinical programmes aim to engage and inspire clinicians to enhance their skills in clinical neuropsychology and support entry onto the British Psychological Society's (BPS) Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists (SRCN). This certificate is accredited by the BPS and will support you in developing the practice competencies required for entry onto SRCN. This degree is for applicants pursuing qualification in adult or paediatric neuropsychology.
To accrue relevant clinical experience for this degree, it's your responsibility to secure paid employment within a neuropsychology service during your enrolment in the certificate. It's also your responsibility to secure supervision for your work when enrolled on the course. However, we provide additional oversight and support towards developing your case portfolio and helping you to ensure your clinical experience demonstrates the required competencies for entry to the SRCN. This support is provided by clinicians on the SRCN and offers opportunities for feedback on case reports, including a practice viva experience and a review of your progress halfway through your study with us. There are also regular formulation workshops to facilitate peer discussion of cases and conceptual issues relevant to neuropsychological practice.
This programme is largely online and can be taken from home or work, with the viva for the clinical practice dissertation taking place online.
While entrance to SRCN requires knowledge and practice competency (the latter delivered on this course), it also requires evidence of a minimal level of research competency (usually doctoral level). Evidence for this competency is demonstrated by completion of a doctorate in clinical psychology, educational psychology or counselling psychology within 8 years of starting this degree. Applicants with non-doctoral backgrounds might include forensic psychologists, health psychologists, some counselling psychologists or some practitioner psychologist members of HCPC with international training backgrounds. If you do not meet the 8 year doctoral requirement or do not have a doctoral background, you can indicate the training you have undertaken and its research component on the Research Competencies Form submitted with your application.
Should you wish to discuss your research competencies with our team before application, please contact [email protected]. Checking research competency status is an issue for any UK programme supporting entry to the SRCN.
