Introduction
The DClinPsy Programme is delivered alongside other clinical and applied psychological professions training within the structure of the Clinical & Applied Psychology Unit (CAPU).
The vision of the CAPU that guides all our activities in training and research is:
To be an internationally renowned research and training centre in the clinical applications of psychology, and through this, to enhance the psychological health and wellbeing of people across the life span.
We are committed to valuing diversity, working in partnership with service users and engaging with all our stakeholders to provide leadership in developing and applying the complementary paradigms of evidence based practice and practice-based evidence. We adopt a balanced and ethical approach in relation to research and clinical paradigms to always ensure the application of the best methodologies to answer the clinical questions at hand. Our expectation is that trainees will leave the programme (1) competent in using evidence-based, patient-oriented, and safe psychological interventions, (2) capable of creativity in applying novel, theory-based approaches to helping people experiencing psychological distress, (3) ready to contribute to the clinical governance agendas of employers, and (4) willing to offer clinical and team leadership in the provision of the highest quality psychological services.
We are committed to anti-discriminatory practice in all aspects of training. Please see Appendix 3 for document clarifying the position of the clinical psychology training programme, encouraging awareness and discussion of language and behaviour that causes concern and indicating routes to raise or report issues.
