Dr Alexis Clarke

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Neuropsychologist (SCRN) with over 10 years post-qualification experience working in health and neuropsychology settings. I trained to be a Clinical Psychologist at Plymouth University (2008-2011), where I completed my final year placement at the Oliver Zangwill Centre, where I later took my first qualified role. I completed the Qualification in Clinical Neuropsychology via the independent route and joined the Specialist Register for Clinical Neuropsychologists in 2015.  I have been fortunate enough to work across inpatient and community neuropsychological rehabilitation, within the UK and internationally, including Singapore and Ontario, Canada. My most recent NHS role was leading the development of Stroke Services in Eastern Devon.

My doctoral research was adjunct to my clinical interests but born from my passion in participatory research. The project developed from a collaboration with Altruistic Donors who were frustrated and challenged by their experience of health services. I co-led the, Altruistic Donor Research Group at Plymouth University and together we were successful in securing grants to continue the work and developing multi-site collaborations across the UK.

I am a research and academic tutor and convenor of the neuropsychology academic teaching strand of the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.
