Ross Balchin

I work for the Neuropsychoanalysis Foundation as the Program Director. I have formerly held both the National Research Foundation (NRF) NPPD and the Claude Leon Foundation postdoctoral fellowships. I am also a clinical neuropsychologist by training and former Clinical Research Fellow for the University of Cambridge's NIHR Global Health Research Group on Neurotrauma.

I am currently the Chairman of the Board of The Brain Injury Trust, a non-profit organization which is involved in the prevention of brain injury and which supports patients and their families from the acute stage of brain injury and on through the recovery process. Here I play an active role in the provision of community-based infrastructure for brain-injury patients and their families. I regularly present on various brain-injury related topics at community-based workshops, and I am a cofounder of a successful support group for patients and their families and carers, which I also help to run.
