Description
Child and Adolescent Neuropsychiatric Clinic (BNK) is a specialized unit at Sahlgrenska University Hospital that evaluates children and adolescents up to 18 years of age with neuropsychiatric functional impairments. Approximately 25 people work at the unit, many of whom combine their clinical work with research. The operation is characterized by high expertise and a high degree of collaboration, and is conducted from an interdisciplinary perspective. The team includes physicians, psychologists, speech-language pathologists, special educators, nurses, and medical/administrative secretaries.
The unit's three teams focus on preschool children, school-age children with more complex neuropsychiatric issues, and children with complex neuropsychiatric symptomatology such as genetic syndromes, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions.
Child and Adolescent Neuropsychiatric Clinic collaborates with the University of Gothenburg in clinical research and development.
Duties
The primary responsibility is to participate in interdisciplinary assessment and diagnosis for children and adolescents with suspected neuropsychiatric functional impairments, and to recommend and facilitate habilitative interventions.
The work includes providing information about assessment results to parents and educational staff together with other team members, and helping children and adolescents understand their own functional impairment.
Education for guardians is an important part of the assessment, as is collaboration with neighboring services and others in the child's network.
Qualifications
