Dr Dawn Reeve
Lead Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist
BA, DClinPsy, CPsychol, PGDip, AFBPsS
My motivation is to improve the psychological care of neurological patients. I have over 20 years' experience in clinical neuropsychology. I work as a Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist as well as fulfilling the role of Clinical Lead for Neuropsychology within an NHS trust.
The focus of my work at Spire Nottingham Hospital is assessing and treating the psychological impact of medical conditions. This includes considering cognition, mood, behaviour, relationships and adjustment to illness. I have experience in working with a wide range of neurological and other health conditions. My special interests include traumatic brain injury, dementia and multiple sclerosis. I have expertise in both cognitive assessment, neurorehabilitation and the assessment and treatment of trauma. I take pride in producing high-quality clinical reports for clinical or medicolegal purposes.
I have developed Clinical Neuropsychology services in neurorehabilitation and stroke and provide specialist supervision and management. I have contributed at a strategic level to planning improvements in neurological services in the East Midlands. My academic record includes achieving some of the highest grades among my peers.
I have a number of publications. I am entered in the Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists and am qualified to supervise Clinical Psychologists for the Qualification in Clinical Neuropsychology (QiCN).
Research interests: Memory, Cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis, Improvement of psychological wellbeing of neurological populations.

Personal profile
Originally from the East Midlands and having spent time elsewhere for work and study, I find myself comfortably settled back ‘home’. I balance a busy professional and family life by powers of organisation. I am a keen swimmer and fan of literature.
In an attempt to exemplify positive ways of living, I have recently begun yoga and mindfulness, which I have found beneficial. I aim to be a clear communicator with my patients, carers and referrers. I maintain my curiosity regarding ‘the human condition’ and feel that everyone has a story worth listening to. Despite the complexity of my work, I strive to maintain an approachable and friendly manner.
