In 2008 the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies project began in order to improve the capacity of psychological therapy services for people with common mental health problems (depression and anxiety) in the UK. The psychological wellbeing practitioner role was created as part of this project in order to support the delivery of psychological therapies within a stepped care system.
The stepped care system is promoted by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) which works on the principle of offering the least intrusive and most effective treatment (low intensity interventions) in the first instance and increasing the intensity of treatment as required. This accredited programme provides education and training that meets the requirements of the Department of Health (2015) curriculum for psychological well-being practitioners by:
Applicants must have a degree. You must be working in a fully functioning IAPT service so as part of the quality assurance process, services must meet the appropriate standards. It is a course requirement that supervision is provided by a qualified PWP supervisor. Funded PWP trainee positions are advertised on NHS Jobs by individual IAPT services. To apply to self-fund the PWP course then apply online. Some IAPT services offer voluntary contracts, each service have different terms and conditions however all will provide PWP supervision. Interviews for these voluntary contracts will be arranged by the course leader. Under recognition of prior learning (RPL) you may be awarded credits for previous study or related work experience which can be credited towards the course you want to study.
