Re: What is the view on the Clinical Associate Psychology Masters?
It was mentioned earlier in the thread that the current system of CP training is sufficient. I contest that view. While the competition among trainees ensures that the qualify of qualified psychologists is excellent, there are simply not enough them. There is a national vacancy rate of 14% for CP, a...

Re: Exeter 2018
They already have a Whatsapp group. Don't ask me how they are so organised! You may already be on it. If not, you can PM me your number and I will pass it on to someone in your cohort and they can add you.

Re: Personal Experience - ASD
I can't say from the perspective of educational psychology, but as far as clinical psychology is concerned, I would mention it. I have disclosed relevant personal experiences of mental health in applications. Be careful to state what about those experiences prepare you for the course you are applyin...

Re: Better BME representation in clinical psychology
I have been interested in BAME issues for a while and I disagree with the view that only people from ethnic backgrounds can or should do anything to improve the diversity of the profession. At the same time, I have increasingly felt trepidation at the prospect of contributing to the debate, in part ...

Re: Trauma treatments for looked after children
Thanks, Miriam. Since starting training, lots of people have mentioned What Good Looks Like. The home uses Hugh's PACE approach and DDP but was looking for something that was more one-to-one. Or rather, something to help young people who are so overwhelmed by their experiences that they are struggli...

Re: Funding
The comparison with medicine doesn't hold water, I'm afraid. Both medics and clinical psychologists pay for their undergraduate training and, currently, both get paid to do further education. True, the medics pay more for their five-year undergraduate degrees but they, as I understand it, benefit fr...

Trauma treatments for looked after children
I am on placement at a secure children's home. My supervisor has asked me to look into treatments for PTSD and developmental trauma for the young people at the home. She is thinking about using aspects of DBT, specifically mindfulness, as a means of helping the young people develop better emotional ...

The organisation's full title is ACP-UK - bit clunky though.

Re: Campaign for a Royal College of Psychologists
I agree with you both that to avoid going for RC would be a huge error. If you feel strongly about it (which I hope you do), create a post on the Google Group I linked above or email acp@webcollect.org.uk. I would also suggest making some noise on Facebook and Twitter, which seem to be major channel...

Re: How essential is life experience as a trainee?
I strongly second Mungle's reply. I believe your question (will my age make it harder - however harder is defined) is essentially unanswerable. We can each provide some reflection on our own experience but whether that informs yours is for you to decide. Personally, I have found my age (32 on accept...

Re: Campaign for a Royal College of Psychologists
The Association of Clinical Psychologists - UK is, from what I can gather, a splinter group of senior BPS clinicians and academics keen to establish a specific professional body for clinical psychologists. The ACP includes the former heads of all of the national BPS branches, the former co-chair of ...

Re: Cygnet Hospital v NHS Trust
Whether your HCA position is for a private company or the NHS is unlikely to matter. All else being equal, I would choose whichever role interests you the most. Of course, with £3500 salary difference, they are definitely not equal.
