The British NeuroPsychiatry Association

The British NeuroPsychiatry Association (BNPA) was founded in 1987 and is the leading academic and professional body for medical practitioners and professionals allied to medicine in the UK working at the interface of the clinical and cognitive neurosciences and psychiatry.

The aims of the BNPA are to:

• encourage and facilitate cross-disciplinary discussion of clinical and academic issues within the fields of psychiatry, neurology and neuropsychology;
• provide a forum to assist its members maintain and extend their knowledge and skills and to improve the understanding and treatment of people with neuropsychiatric disorders and
• create a platform for the presentation of ideas and research findings through open meetings.

The membership is multidisciplinary and currently stands at around 500 including psychiatrists, neurologists and clinical psychologists. Membership is open to medical practitioners in psychiatry, neurology clinical /academic neuropsychology and related neurosciences, and those who join under the age of 30 can benefit from 3 years reduced subscription fee (£10).

The highlight of the Association’s calendar is our two-day annual meeting held in February of each year. This format includes symposia, international guest speakers, member’s papers and posters.
We welcome joint meetings with other organisations either as part of our annual meeting or as BNPA symposia in their meeting.

We also run neuropsychiatry teaching weekends in December of each year for SpRs in psychiatry and neurology which provides for CME/CE credits.
