Neuropsychology resources on this website are FREE to download. Since putting together the resources involved quite a bit of expense and time, we have allowed for users to make a voluntary donation if they wish. Any donations will also help us to add further free Neuropsychology resources to the website. In addition, parts of the donations go towards supporting Neuropsychology in India (the COVID rehab website is down for the present). Profits will also go to supporting healthcare in Afghanistan and other countries by helping to provide continued funds to the two Dr Karen Woo award schemes that Professor Kapur has set up and funded in memory of the UCL-trained doctor, Dr Karen Woo, who was killed by terrorists in 2010 while providing aid in Afghanistan (see HERE), and also to the Nurse Amin Abdullah Fund that Professor Kapur has set up with others, in memory of Nurse Amin Abdullah who self-immolated in 2016 after a kangaroo court dismissal process. The Nurse Amin Abdullah award fund is run by the Royal College of Nursing Foundation (see HERE). Further details of these two funds can be found in Professor Kapur’s article in the October 28, 2022 issue of the Health Service Journal.
