Leeds Children’s Hospital is one of the largest paediatric centres in the country, providing a range of specialty clinical services. The role is based in Martin Wing, in Leeds General Infirmary.
Paediatric Neuropsychology has a well-established relationship with the Paediatric Neurology Team and works closely with the Medical Consultants, Specialist Nurses and therapists.

The DPP is academically ambitious with links to the expanding DClinPsych Programme and Schools of Psychology, Medicine and Healthcare at the University of Leeds.
