About Donnchadh
I am a principal clinical neuropsychologist and senior research fellow with a special interest in neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation.
I completed my Doctorate in clinical psychology at Â鶹´«Ã½ in 2017 and since then I have worked as a clinical neuropsychologist in the NHS. I have completed post-doctoral specialist training in clinical neuropsychology at University of Bristol (2021) and I am listed on the British Psychological Society’s Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists.

My research is focused on using technology and clinical biomarkers to improve neuropsychological assessment procedures in early Alzheimer’s disease
