个人简介
Dr Bracewell is a Senior Lecturer in Neurology & Neuroscience in the School of Medical Sciences and the School of Psychology at Bangor University.
He is also a Consultant Neurologist at the Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust in Liverpool, Noble’s Hospital in the Isle of Man, and the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board in North Wales.
He studied Medicine and Physiology at Oxford. He did his PhD in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received his early postgraduate medical and neurological training in Oxford and at the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery in London, moving to Birmingham University Medical School as the Lecturer and Senior Registrar in Neurology.
Dr Bracewell does clinics in general neurology and epilepsy at Noble’s Hospital, Isle of Man, and the Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, where he also sees complex neuro-ophthalmology referrals. The Walton Centre is the UK’s only stand-alone neuroscience Trust, providing secondary and tertiary clinical neurological and neurosurgical services to much of the north west of England, the Isle of Man, and to north Wales.
He provides Behavioural and Cognitive Neurology services to the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. Most of this work is in acquired brain injury for the North Wales Brain Injury Service. He sees outpatients at Colwyn Bay Hospital and inpatients in both acute hospital and rehabilitation settings across North Wales. He is therefore quite unusual amongst UK Neurologists in having a very large clinical practice in acquired brain injury.
He set up and organises the undergraduate Neurology teaching in North Wales for Cardiff Medical School.
He is Director of the intercalated Neuropsychology degree.
He is module organiser for the postgraduate Behavioural Neurology module.
He does neuroscience teaching for undergraduate and postgraduate courses offered by the School of Medical Sciences
He teaches widely at a postgraduate level in Neurology, Epilepsy and Neuro-ophthalmology.
He was inaugural Director of the BMedSci degree at Bangor
