The Edinburgh FND Research Group<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The team at the University of Edinburgh are one of the leading FND research groups in the world. Prof Jon Ston<\/a>e and Prof Alan Carson<\/a> started working in FND in the mid 1990s at a time when it was invisible in text books and research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have published over 400 scientific articles on FND, they co-founded the international FND Society <\/a>with Prof Mark Hallett in 2019 and have worked with numerous FND patient-led organisations, and other international organisations to improve knowledge and healthcare professional practice in FND.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have been joined by Dr Ingrid Hoeritzauer<\/a> and Dr Laura McWhirter<\/a> in recent years as co-principals. You can read more about the work of the research group in our research reports below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
