Dr Coetzer wins BPS Book of the Year 2016

Dr Coetzer, who holds a joint  appointment with Bangor  University and Betsi Cadwaladr  University Health Board has won  the prestigious British  Psychological Society (BPS) Book  Award, with his book titled,  ‘Working with Brain Injuruy: A  primer for psychologists working  in under-resourced settings”.  Dr Coetzer lectures on the MSc  Principles of Clinical  Neuropsychology and the fact that  his book won the ‘Practitioner’  category is a excellent illustration  of the exposure to modern  neuropsychology practice that  Clinical Neuropsychology MSc  students get at Bangor.  

Dr Coetzer said, “ Writing a book  like this would not have been  possible without the many years of  support, intellectual stimualtion,  encouragement and collaborative  opportunities consistently  provided by both of my ‘homes’ -  the North Wales Brain Injury  Service, Betsi Cadwalader  University Health Board NHS  Wales, and the School of  Psychology, Bangor University.”  Dr Coetzer’s co-author is Dr Ross  Balchin, a clinical  neuropsychologist based at Groote  Schuur Hospital.
