This may involve such things as motivating patients who lack insight into their difficulties. Responsibility for managing own time, planning of patient’s clinics and patient/carer groups. Organising the workload of doctoral clinical psychology trainees and psychology assistants
• Use of neuropsychological/psychometric assessment tools requiring dexterity, speed and accuracy, where necessary.

This will involve considering complex interrelated issues, such as possible effects of on-going treatment, physical health, mood and anxiety levels
