Neurosience is one of the most rapidly advancing areas of research and from this follows an increasing demand for clinical specialists trained in the assessment, management, treatment and service needs of people with neurological disorders. In the UK these services have traditionally been offered, in the main, by clinical psychologists who have developed a specialist knowledge of neuropsychology through their professional practice and continuing professional development. Neuropsychologists are now working on the development of a formal training route and it is hoped that this will be introduced towards the end of 2001.
