摘要
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to share and report on practice development. Design/methodology/approach - A description of a joint neuropsychiatric clinic, including demographics of patients seen, is provided. Findings - The paper expresses the opinion that the experience of running a joint clinic for complex cases with neurological and psychiatric pathology was professionally rewarding and that clinicians found it a more effective way of delivering care. Originality/value - This is the first description of such a clinic to the authors' knowledge. Development of similar services may be of value.
