Re: Alternatives to Jordan Peterson
Using the word "blacks" in your post tells me quite a lot about you. As does your dismissal of Miriam who is the founder and owner of this site.

Re: Punctuation in application
I think that's probably fine - seems a sensible use of space to me.

Re: 5 things I'm thinking today. . .
Gosh Miriam I remember when you had your babies! Hope they settle in to secondary school. And congratulations on the grant, great that your business keeps going from strength to strength.

Re: Government kickstart initiative for psychology grads?
A local university funded interns for our Trust. These were full time for 8 weeks, to complete some research / write up some data etc, and obviously supervised by a Clinical Psychologist. Having someone for six months to do that would be even better.

Re: Research & DClinPsy
I felt like I was terrible at research. I liked coming up with ideas and collecting data, but things like systematic reviews were beyond me. I managed to pass my research modules, my viva and complete the course on time. No real advice other than to get as much help as you can from research tutors a...

Re: 5 things I'm thinking today. . .
2.) Wild alternative career plan 472: set up a therapeutic riding centre. Before the pandemic I was taking a small group of my teenage students (young people with significant trauma histories or difficulties with anxiety) to riding lessons. The difference in them was astonishing. There is a girl wh...

Prescribing rights for Psychologists
The BPS are doing a consultation on whether psychologists should have prescribing rights. Deadline for comments is Monday. https://www.bps.org.uk/news-and-policy/internal-consultation-prescribing-rights I'm not sure where I sit (on the fence currently) but I'll have a read of the documents and see i...

Re: Access to a car?
I think we're broadly in agreement that it shouldn't be a requirement, but it would also be naive to think that it would be possible to find placements for an entire cohort of non drivers, because of the way services are set up. A nice challenge for Lancaster maybe! I did read a National Geographic ...

Re: Access to a car?
I don't think it's the marker of a good psychologist - but I do think it reflects the NHS we work in, and have made it pretty clear from my experience that services exist where travel is needed during the work day, like rural services. Every day this week I've travelled to a client appointment becau...

Re: Access to a car?
I'm probably a bad person for saying this, but a Band 6 NHS employee is fairly well paid and in most circumstances, they should be able to afford to run a car (I appreciate this may be different for people with dependants, single parents etc etc). Maybe I'm a total cow, but as someone who does drive...

Re: number of places versus number of applicants
I feel like Lancaster is the most inclusive of courses - in terms of their minimum criteria so that doesn't surprise me.

Re: MSc ClinPsy Graduate - need some career advice PLS
Have you looked for nursing assistant / support worker / healthcare assistant roles? I think you might have to start there to gain experience and knowledge of the UK healthcare system and then apply for Assistant Psychologist / RA / PWP roles once you have some experience. The jobs you're currently ...

Re: Former inpatient looking for DClin application advice
No advice to add to what Lingua has said -other than I'd have a look on Twitter as there are a lot of trainees and qualified CPs talking about their own experience, so it shouldn't be a red flag. For example, @camspamalam is a great place to start, have a look at her excellent blog and the people sh...
