Just curious: Do you , as an international #DClinPsy trainee have an honorary contract during your training? Would love to hear your experiences, as some universities offer Service Level Agreement (SLA) instead of a contract. Feel free to share or comment. #DClinPsyTraining

The @BPS @DCPPreQual Alternative Handbook was published yesterday. To save others the trouble, I've collated the data for the "Friends & Family" test. This measure can fluctuate but I do think it provides useful info esp. alongside the text responses (1/2) bps.org.uk/alternative-handb…

Re-tweeting this ! Thought might be helpful for any #dclinpsy #psychologists in the UK.
I’m trying to create a list for international #Dclin trainees to understand the common acronyms use in #NHS. However, I only have three years of exp working in NHS and it is based in the southwest. I remember feeling very lost during my year 1 [1/3]

Received this email from one of the international applicants and YES , the chances for an international applicant to be accepted to the #dclinpsy programme is around 1-5% and it varies every year! Just because we are self-funding, it doesn’t mean we have special treatment.

Similarly, I wonder how many trainees from the BAME/minority background able to successfully graduate from the DClinPsy? Any idea where I can get the statistic? Some courses has failed a number of int. trainees…I wonder why? We have different needs and haven’t been seen?
I really want DClinPsy & related courses(I.e. PWP, CAPs, etc) that use diversity as a selling point to be held accountable and be brutally honest about why they can recruit and not KEEP diverse staff. Why didnt your diverse students graduate with their White colleagues?

I was reading this book #TheClinicalPsychologistCollective by Dr Marianne Trent from @GoodThinkingPs1 . A lot of inspiring stories and definitely recommend to all aspiring CP. it is hoped that it could have international #dclinpsy trainees’ voices as well…

Hi everyone. Last year I made a document summarising the basic info for each #Dclin course. It was pretty popular. I've drafted a new one. drive.google.com/file/d/13C6… I would appreciate anyone helping me fill in the missing info or correcting any mistakes

In a perfect world, nobody would risk their life to reach the UK. But we have to be compassionate in the real world. If you'd already fled war and horror, you might try to reach somewhere you know the language, you know people. Should that be criminalised? #AntiRefugeeBill
