Academic Structure The formal academic programme is organised on the basis of one full day teaching per week for the first two and a half years of the course. In addition, trainees normally receive one full day per week for study and research time. Wherever possible, the content of teaching is co-ordinated with the nature of the trainees’ current clinical placement.
Clinical Structure Clinical placements are undertaken throughout the three years. Normally, all trainees undertake the same sequence of placements at the same time. It is anticipated that clinical training will commence with a placement working with children and families, followed by placements focusing on work with adults, then older adults and finally people with learning disability. Each of the four placements are 6 months long. In the third year, trainees undertake a longer placement of 8-9 months’ duration. Course staff visit each supervisor and trainee during each placement to discuss progress.
Research Trainees will be required to submit a service-related project and a thesis. The thesis is undertaken throughout the second and third year of training. Trainees are required to produce a thesis consisting of the following components: 1) An ethics committee research proposal; 2) A literature review, written in academic journal format; 3) A research paper describing the study, written in academic journal format; 4) A critical appraisal of the research project. Trainees are encouraged to submit their work to appropriate academic journals. A three-year research teaching curriculum is integrated into the main teaching programme, and is designed to meet the research needs of trainees as they progress through the course.
Development and Support
The course uses a number of complementary support systems to facilitate trainees’ personal and professional development. In addition to supervision while on placement (including visits from Clinical Tutors) and informal peer support, there is an annual review held with tutors who are members of the Course team. The aims of the system are to provide a review of the individual training needs of each trainee. The support scheme also offers continuity of contact with two members of the Course team over the three years of training. All trainees are also invited to take advantage of a personal tutor system. All personal tutors are local clinical psychologists.
