Abstract
Reflections from two clinical psychologists inputting into memory clinics. A key strategy is “getting a seat at the table”; being part of ongoing MDT discussion enables us to demonstrate the value of neuropsychological assessment in informing assessment, formulation and input for those with MCI. Doing so necessitates resilience, persistence and using even minor opportunities to gather space to demonstrate those skills and knowledge.
