INVITED SYMPOSIUM
ABSTRACT
Leadership Development for
Clinical Psychologists
The
development of leadership competences for
Clinical Psychologists in the UK is a
priority. Leadership competences are now a
pre-registration requirement and many junior
psychologists are taking up leadership and
service development roles early in their
careers.
The leadership demands upon Senior Clinical
Psychologists are evolving rapidly as services
reorganise, cost savings are demanded and
inter professional boundaries diminish. The
symposium will outline four funded UK national
and regional Leadership Development projects
and evaluation data on the effectiveness of
each programme will be presented. The
symposium will conclude with a discussion of
the challenges and opportunities that current
leadership demands pose.
