Overview
     
   

Institute of Clinical Neuropsychology (ICN), was jointly established by MacLehose Medical Rehabilitation Centre (MMRC) and The University of Hong Kong (HKU) in September 2002, with an initial aim to provide evidence-based neuropsychological assessment and intervention for neurologically impaired patients of MMRC. Nowadays, ICN has extended its service to accomodate referrals from various health care institutes. In the past years, assessment protocol and evidence-based treatment have been introduced. In addition to neuropsychological services for patients, ICN also plays an active role in the expansion of supporting services for patientsˇ¦ families.

 
       
  Training  
       
    ICN continued offering unique clinical and research training opportunities for professional/ students from Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, and overseas countries. Since its establishment, ICN has hosted visits and clinical attachment for clinical psychology trainees, clinical psychologists, nursing and health care professionals. ICN has been invited to speak in national and international meetings/ conferences on neuropsychology, applied neuroscience, and cognitive rehabilitation.

Furthermore, ICN participated actively in overseasˇ¦ academic exchanges. In 2005-2006, our clinical staff visited Mayo Clinic (USA), Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital (USA), Anhui Medical University (China). The academic visits served to promote the academic and clinical collaborations between ICN and other international academic organizations.

In May 2007, a symposium, titled ˇ§International Symposium on Applied Neuroscience: Recovering from Brain Traumaˇ¨, was jointly organized by ICN, Faculty of Social Sciences of HKU and MMRC. World-renowned scholars in neuroscience and rehabilitation were invited to speak in the symposium. Colleagues of various disciplines of the health care system were invited to attend the symposium.
