In contrast, considering that only a quarter of all respondents had considered training in neuropsychology, it is important to explore the reasons why the remaining 75% had not considered that option. Lack of sufficient knowledge of the field emerged as the most significant factor, with 50% of the respondents stating that they were unaware of this option and a further 20% stating that they did not know enough about the area. The EPs also highlighted a number of additional reasons why they had not considered paediatric neuropsychology training. Those included current career stage, and particularly being close to retirement, which was listed by a number of EPs as a key factor making further training a less appealing option. Similarly, the time demands and cost associated with further training were highlighted as another barrier by some respondents, who noted that their employers would be unlikely to support them financially or in practical terms if they were to embark on further training. Some EPs also flagged up the lack of sufficient opportunities to apply neuropsychological knowledge in their current setting as another factor that made them less likely to consider training in neuropsychology:From discussions with EPs who have trained, I feel that the information and knowledge gained is very useful but that unless we can be seconded or work in a medical setting there is very limited relevance to our daily work at the current time.
