The post holder will join an established and well-integrated team of Clinical Neuropsychologists working at the OCE, where psychological input is highly valued. The OCE Neuropsychology team is part of the Oxford Psychological Medicine Centre that provides an integrated psychology and psychiatry service across the OUH Trust.
