Research  

To improve the quality of patient care and sharpen our clinical skills as scientist-practitioners, our psychologists collaborate and conduct inter-disciplinary research projects across the field. Some examples are:  
  • Cognitive impairment  
  • Dementia   
  • Parkinson’s Disease  
  • Validation of assessment and diagnostic tools  
  • Other neurocognitive disorders   
  • Eating Disorders   
  • Other health and clinical conditions  
Funding and grants are obtained to further research endeavours. Our findings are also usually presented and shared at local and international conferences.
