Acute Neuropsychology provides support to adults who have recently sustained a neurological injury or illness. It is also available to those who are experiencing an acute problem related to a chronic neurological condition. The service assesses cognition, psychological well-being and behavioural change. Cognitive rehabilitation and psychological therapies for difficulties related to those neurological illnesses and injuries are also available.
Individuals who use this service have a DCN consultant and are either inpatients on the DCN neurology or neurosurgery wards, or who live at home and visit the department as an outpatient.
