The association encourages participation in training and continuous professional development activities, hosts regular online meetings, and organises a national bi-annual conference.The association strives to maintain and encourage creditable standards of professional neuropsychological practice, including by requiring Full Members to have demonstrated a high level of knowledge and competence, for example via their attaining professional registration in the Neuropsychology category, and by facilitating ongoing professional training through our CPD programmes, workshops and conferences, and by facilitating opportunities for supervision with experienced practitioners.
(Please note that the SACNA examination and the process of becoming a Full Member are under review at this time, and members will be updated on the progress of review.)
