Organization:British Neuropsychiatry Association
The British Neuropsychiatry Association (BNPA) is a professional organisation in the United Kingdom focused on the field of neuropsychiatry, which encompasses the clinical and scientific study of disorders at the interface of neurology, psychiatry, and neuropsychology.[1]
The British Neuropsychiatry Association was founded in 1987 by a group of clinicians and academics interested in promoting dialogue between the disciplines of neurology, psychiatry, and psychology.[2] Among its founding members were key figures in the development of neuropsychiatry as a distinct subspecialty in the UK and its first chair was William Alwyn Lishman who later became honorary life president of the organisation.[3]
The British Neuropsychiatry Association hosts an annual conference, typically in London, which features invited lectures, scientific presentations, and case discussions.[4] These meetings are intended to disseminate research findings and discuss clinical developments in areas such as dementia, epilepsy, movement disorders, functional neurological disorders, and traumatic brain injury.[5] The conference proceedings are published annually in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry and joint meetings have previously been held with the American Neuropsychiatric Association[6] and the Faculty of Neuropsychiatry at the Royal College of Psychiatrists.[7]
Membership is open to psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists, and other interested healthcare professionals.[8] The British Neuropsychiatry Association does not regulate clinical practice or training, although serves as a forum for discussion and education in neuropsychiatry and related fields.
