The award is made for an outstanding contribution to neuropsychology in the UK. The contribution may be in relation to research, training or clinical service development, with a significant impact on the practice of clinical neuropsychology either nationally or internationally. The award is normally made to someone in the middle or later stage of their career as a clinical neuropsychologist. Winners are announced at the DoN Annual Conference.
