This course allows you to progress onto stage two of the British Psychological Society (BPS) qualification in health psychology or a BPS-accredited doctoral programme in health psychology. Successfully completing stage two confers eligibility to apply to the Health and Care Professions Council for registration as a health psychologist. We designed the course to give you the knowledge, skills, values and academic approach to improve your work and study in health psychology. You learn to: critically evaluate and apply different approaches, theories and models to health-related issues; develop in-depth knowledge and advanced skills related to the design, implementation and evaluation of health-related research; apply problem solving strategies to complex professional scenarios; critically reflect on your practice, planning and personal development. You can use your work or voluntary experience from within a health-related setting to aid your learning and training. For example, work-based reflection is a core element of the healthcare contexts module and is designed to contribute to your continuing personal development. You may be able to gain supervised voluntary work experience within Sheffield Teaching Hospitals’ Medical Psychology Service. Potential placements include: diabetes; HIV/GU medicine; renal services; chronic pain; amputation rehabilitation; trauma services; burns unit; spinal injury rehabilitation.
