Emerging cross-sector professional body

As the first professional body for applied neuroscience in the world, ANA is shaping the future of this field by:

​

• Defining Professional Standards – established qualifications and standards to delineate applied neuroscience jurisdiction and to seek uniformity of expertise in practice.

​​

• Establishing an Ethical Charter – developing codes of ethics to guide professional conduct and maintain public trust.

​​

• Education & Training – setting up CPD educational requirements and training programmes to ensure practitioners meet established standards.

​​

• Advocating for Authority – Lobbying for authority to regulate the profession, establishing applied neuroscience as a recognised profession across industry, education, and healthcare

​​

• Recognition - pursuing formal recognition through instruments like Science Council Membership that demonstrates our commitment to supporting excellence in our scientific community, and the potential for a Royal Charter which grants independent legal personality, and defined objectives and governance structures​​​
