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
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;
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.
