Biography
Dr Stanton graduated from Newcastle University with honours and distinction in 2000. Her postgraduate training took place at the Maudsley Hospital, King’s College Hospital, the Royal Free Hospital and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. She has a PhD in psychology from King’s College London, having undertaken neuropsychology and functional imaging research into apathy in neurodegenerative disorders.
