Who is this course for?
The PGDip is ideal for professionally-registered clinical counselling psychologists who wish to improve their practice-based knowledge and competency relating to clinical work with clients (or patients) with long-term neurological conditions and/or acquired brain injuries in any setting, in the community, in clinics, neurorehabilitation units, or acute hospitals.
This course is particularly appropriate for those who are interested in joining the SRCN as once the course has been BPS-accredited it will count towards the ‘knowledge’ component of the British Psychological Society (BPS), Division of Neuropsychology, Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists (SRCN).
Those who qualify can continue onto further study on the Salomons Institute PGCert Clinical Neuropsychology Practice, thereby completing the route to the SRCN.
If the SRCN isn't your aim however, you can still join the PGDip or you may be interested in the Salomons Institute’s online CPD offerings in clinical neuropsychology.
