How do I become one?
To become a Chartered Member of the Society through the health psychology training route, you will need the following qualifications:
- Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC).
This is achieved by completing a Society accredited degree or conversion course
Plus one of the following 'Stage 2', doctoral-level qualifcations:
- The Society’s Qualification in Health Psychology Stage 2 (QHP Stage 2)
- A Society accredited Doctorate in Health Psychology
In Scotland, an NHS-funded Stage 2 training scheme employs a number of Trainee Health Psychologists each year.
This enables Chartership through the Society’s Qualification in Health Psychology.
Currently, there is not an equivalent funded Stage 2 training scheme for the rest of the UK; however, some institutions and funding bodies do offer Trainee Health Psychologist roles or funding for training.
