  3. NEW WAYS OF WORKING • NIMHE National Workforce Programme • What is it about? • Changing existing professional practice (biggest challenge) • Extending roles beyond original scope of practice • New roles – usually at assistant or practitioner levels • Meeting the needs of service users and carers across all age groups

  4. NEW WAYS OF WORKINGA 5 year process (so far) • Began in 2003 as collaborative, led by NIMHE and Royal College of Psychiatrists • Overseen by joint National Steering Group with membership from all professional bodies • Focussed initially on Psychiatrists – Interim report 2004, Final Report 2005 • But since has moved on to everyone involved in mental health services

  13. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

  14. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

  15. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS • LEADERSHIP: KEY ISSUES • Board level representation for delivery of psychological services • Committed to multi disciplinary health care delivery • Should be business minded, politically aware, aligned to organisation’s strategic objectives & informative to commissioners • Redevelop leadership & management training from prequalification to consultant

  16. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS • WORKING PSYCHOLOGICALLY IN TEAMS • Expectations: Ways Forward • Psychologists committed to multi-disciplinary teams and offering psychological rather than medical perspective • Psychologists should be good team players • Members • Managers & Leaders • Supporting & supervising others • Consulting (e.g. supporting/creating capable teams) • “Team players with a unique contribution”

  17. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS • WORKING PSYCHOLOGICALLY IN TEAMS • KEY ISSUES • Key ingredients for effective teamworking are: • Clear and achievable objectives • Clear and effective leadership • The necessary authority, autonomy and resources to achieve these objectives (i.e. effective decision making processes, engage in constructive conflict and for complex decisions team needs to be relatively small n=8-9 people) • Differentiated, diverse and clear roles • Opportunities to review team effectiveness and build in change

  18. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS • IMPROVING ACCESS TO • PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIES • Development & expectations • Largest new development programme for mental health • New services & training commissions with national roll out • Service redesign – psychologists actively contributing • Importance of links with steps 3, 4 & 5 (secondary & tertiary)

  19. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS • IMPROVING ACCESS TO PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIES • Development & expectations • Key messages psychologists must (and do) engage with IAPT. Roles: • Training (developing & delivering) • Leading & Managing • Supervising • Delivering psychological therapies • Research (analysing & interpreting outcome data, disseminating findings) • Developing the evidence base

  20. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS • NEW PREQUALIFICATION ROLES: KEY ISSUES • Great need for psychological services, large pool of psychology graduates and a dip in 18-20 coming into workforce (2010-2020) • Lessons from new roles (e.g. Primary Care mental Health Workers) • Fit in with a clear career framework • Receive appropriate support and supervision • Be integral to aims and design of service • Example IAPT – low intensity & high intensity workers (not just psychology graduates but safe bet pool) • Could be developed for other client groups – child, learning disabilities, older peoples services

  21. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS • NEW ROLES • WAY FORWARD • Developed prequalification career framework • Psychology Assistant/Senior Assistant/Associate [bands 4,5 & 6] • Needs to be linked into a service role • Education framework (Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma & possibly Masters) • Could stay at each level, most likely Associate or go on

  22. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS • NEW ROLES • What you can expect of psychologists • To contribute to development of new roles and services • To contribute to the development and delivery of training, including in HEIs • To contribute to clinical governance, through clinical leadership, management and supervision • To contribute to developing appropriate regulation

  23. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS • TRAINING MODELS: KEY ISSUES • Eight Divisions: Clinical, Counselling, Educational, Forensic, Health, Occupational, Sports & Exercise and Neuropsychology (post qualification) • Majority achieved or aspiring to develop 3 year Doctoral qualifications • Clinical Psychology – best funded and most developed • Differences not very clear to services and the public • A variety of new training models and criteria to evaluate them were developed (i.e. along the way suggested one or two years common) – currently being discussed

  24. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS • TRAINING MODELS: KEY MESSAGES • Modularisation allowing those with previous experiences and qualifications access via APL/AP(E)L • In clinical psychology, making CBT component equivalent to the high intensity level (impact of IAPT) • Continue to offer a breadth of therapeutic models (e.g. systemic) as other therapies accumulate effectiveness evidence • Continue to train for breadth of client groups (Child, Older People, Learning Disabilities) • Continue training other psychological services (e.g. neuro-psychology assessment) and research • Improving team working, organisational leadership & management elements of training

  25. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS • TRAINING MODELS: KEY MESSAGES • Issues for BPS in consultation with services, users and carers • Identifying future types/Divisions of applied psychology • Improving relevance of undergraduate programme as preparation for applied work

  26. NWW FOR APPLIED PSYCHOLOGISTS 'THE END OF THE BEGINNING' THE REPORT(s) Aim to help: • Commissioners, Leaders and Managers of provider organisations to allow psychological therapies/services to thrive • Applied Psychologists to contribute constructively and innovatively to the future • So that: All can have a positive impact on the well being of users and carers
