Following a tangled thread or weaving an integrated career framework?

The number of psychological professions working in the NHS and publicly funded care is increasing. There are also increases in training places across a range of psychological professions. Despite this, the routes into the psychological professions remain unclear and fragmented. Within the psychological professions, career development is affected by limited transferability, limited opportunity for further training and limited roles at more senior levels across the whole professional group. There is an opportunity to address these to develop a more coherent and consistent approach to the psychological professions to enable a sustainable increase to meet the public demand for psychological help.
