Summary

• All Applied Psychologists refers to Clinical Psychologists, Counselling Psychologists

Forensic Psychologists, Health psychologists and neuropsychologists.

• This is a continuation in a series of reports concerned with workforce planning for

psychology services in NHSScotland and is collaboration between the Information

Services Division (ISD) of NHS National Services Scotland and NHS Education for

Scotland (NES).

• The report presents data to describe the characteristics of the workforce engaged in the

delivery of psychology services in NHSScotland as at 30th September 2010.

• Whole time equivalent (wte) adjusts headcount staff figures to take account of part time

staff.

• An employee may hold more than one appointment in NHSScotland. Their appointments

may be in more than one NHS Board. This issue must be considered when using tables

showing Headcount figures as the employee is counted under each NHS Board they work

in as well as in the overall total. Tables showing WTE figures are not affected.

• In total there were 656 Clinical Psychologists (578.2 wte) and 45 Other Applied

Psychologists (41.3 wte) employed in NHSScotland in September 2010. This represents a

national staffing level of 1 wte Clinical Psychologist per 8 983 of the general population of

Scotland.

• This total of 619.5 wte Clinical and other Applied Psychologists is a 0.9% increase in staff

since 30th September 2009.

• Mental Health is the principal area of work, employing 336.1 wte Clinical and Other

Applied Psychologists. This is an increase of 0.4% compared to 30th September 2009.

The rest of the workforce is distributed across services for people with learning

disabilities, physical health, neuropsychology, forensic and other specialty services.

• Staffing of psychology services varies with the age of the target client population. The

staffing ratio is 1 wte Clinical and other Applied Psychologist per 8,344 population for

those aged under 20, 1 wte per 8,613 for those aged 20-64 yrs old, and 1 wte per

28,854 for those aged 65 and over.

• There are significant differences in staffing levels in psychology services across Health

Boards in NHS Scotland. There are no resident psychology services on Orkney or

Shetland; instead there is limited visiting provision for neuropsychology and services for

children to Orkney and Shetland. In mainland services, the population served by 1 wte

Clinical and Other Applied Psychologist in the Health Board with the lowest staffing level

is twice the population notionally served by 1.0 wte in the area with the highest staffing

levels.

• Psychology services increasingly employ a skill-mix of staff (including graduates of the

MSc in Psychological Therapies in Primary Care, graduates of the MSc in Applied

Psychology of Children & Young People, assistant psychologists, cognitive behavioural

Page 5: NHS Education for Scotland (NES) Information Services ... · Information Services Division (ISD) ... national staffing level of 1 wte Clinical Psychologist per 8 983 of the general

5

therapists, counsellors, other therapists and other clinical staff). Overall the ratio is

approximately 3 wte Clinical and Other Applied Psychologist to 1 wte ‘Other Clinical

Staff’.

• In 2010 Clinical and Other Applied Psychologists spent 65% of their time in direct service

provision, 8% of their time in the clinical training/supervision of others, 7% in

management activities, 5% in research and audit, and the remaining time in their own

professional development activities or ‘other’ e.g. travel to clinics.

• The 1-year Masters level training Psychological Therapy in Primary Care has been

developed to equip graduate psychologists with the competencies required to deliver

evidence based psychological interventions for common mental health problems

presenting in adults in a primary care setting. As at the 30th September 61.6wte were

employed in Psychology services, in addition 9 of the graduates have secured a place on

the Clinical Psychology Doctorate course in Scotland.

• The 1-year Masters level training Applied Psychology in Children & Young People has

been developed to equip graduate psychologists with the competencies required to

deliver psychological healthcare for children and young people in universal as well as

specialised service settings. Graduates of this course take up a variety of roles within

Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services including Child & Adolescent therapist,

community mental health worker, MST therapist, mental health link worker and Clinical

Associates. As at 30th September 21wte were employed in NHSScotland Psychology

services, with a further 4wte employed in NHSScotland outwith psychology services. In

addition 6 graduates have secured a place on the Clinical Psychology Doctorate course in

Scotland. Graduates of the MSc course have also taken up employment in child mental

health services outwith NHSScotland for example in the charity/voluntary sector.

• NHS Education for Scotland has responsibility for the pre-registration training of Clinical

Psychologists for NHSScotland. The number of trainees on the doctoral Clinical

Psychology course as at mid October was 208. The impact of the modernisation of

psychology training is accruing as successive cohorts of those who have completed the

new Masters programmes enter the workforce. The number of trainees on the MSc in

Psychological Therapies in Primary Care was 18, and the number on the MSc in Applied

Psychology of Children and Young People was 17 as at 30th September 2010.

• In addition to the Staff in Post data in the report as at 30th September 2010 in the order

of 34.7wte posts were between being recruited to and starting; starting dates between

October 2010 and December 2010.

• The United Kingdom Statistics Authority has designated these statistics as National

Statistics, in accordance with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and

signifying compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

Designation can be broadly interpreted to mean that the statistics:

� meet identified user needs;

Page 6: NHS Education for Scotland (NES) Information Services ... · Information Services Division (ISD) ... national staffing level of 1 wte Clinical Psychologist per 8 983 of the general

6

� are well explained and readily accessible;

� are produced according to sound methods, and

� are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest.

• Once statistics have been designated as National Statistics it is a statutory requirement

that the Code of Practice shall continue to be observed.

• Source of data: NES-ISD Psychology Workforce Database.
