As a service we have been able to offer a wide range of training, clinical and leadership opportunities that has been fundamental to the strong career trajectory that psychologists have held whilst working in the service.
We are continuing to grow and develop as a psychology team that sits within the wider MDT. For example Exeter perinatal psychology and the Maternal Mental Health Clinic, which is part of the wider community perinatal service, have acquired their own estates for two days a week. These estates act as a hub for psychologists across Devon to meet face to face within working hours. This space has also allowed for us to meet with clients in a way that is therapeutically congruent with how we would want to welcome those we work alongside.
