There are close working relationships with Adult Mental Health Services and the University of Southampton, which is the base for the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology course.

Supervision of a Trainee Clinical Psychologist and contribution to service development will also be required. Candidates who have an interest in neuropsychology will have an opportunity to develop these skills further. Psychological input is highly valued and regarded by both services.
