Abstract

This short report briefly outlines the development and structure of a three-year stage 1 and 2 combined Health Psychology training route available in Scotland. It then goes on to showcase two short case studies from Trainee Health Psychologists (hereafter referred to as trainees) who have graduated from the programme to highlight the variety of approaches and contexts within which trainees work. We hope to have demonstrated how introducing a new route for health psychology training can offer opportunities for trainees to broaden their skill base and to learn with and from other applied psychology trainees.
