PG NQ OAS Perinatal Clinical Psychology Training
Teaching includes pre-module didactic online learning (lasts approximately two hours), and face-to-face training, consisting of 2 or 3 day workshops and remotely-delivered action-based learning sets.
There are four modules that must be completed within the programme:
- Module 1: Perinatal practice
- Module 2: Complex interventions in perinatal practice
- Module 3: Mother-infant relationship problems and eating disorders in perinatal practice
- Module 4: Perinatal supervision and leadership.
Module 1 covers material essential to working in perinatal psychology and provides an introductory context to all other modules. It is compulsory and must be completed by all participants unless they can demonstrate equivalent training and experience. Undertaking module 1 or demonstrating equivalence is a necessary precondition to registering for modules 2, 3 and/or 4.
Course length
