About the Faculty of Neuropsychiatry
What is neuropsychiatry?
Neuropsychiatry is a psychiatric specialism focusing on the psychiatric consequences of cerebral disorder, and functional neurological disorders.
Common conditions seen by neuropsychiatrists include psychiatric consequences of epilepsy, brain injury, movement disorders, encephalitides, as well as rarer conditions seen in specialist regional or national clinics.
Neuropsychiatrists typically work with patients with complex presentations and high levels of need, often embedded within clinical neuroscience services working closely with neurologists. Neuropsychiatrists lead multiprofessional teams providing diagnostic assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation with clinical neuropsychologists and other professionals such as occupational therapists, nurses, physiotherapists, and speech and language therapists.
Faculty strategy
- to set a neuropsychiatry syllabus and curriculum according to GMC guidelines
- to lobby and support the commissioning of neuropsychiatry services to ensure equitable access
- to provide high standard educational meetings to promote the clinical neurosciences relevant to the practice of psychiatry.
