If this is the case how do they make enough to live just working part time? Hey, I worked part time as a research fellow specialising in dementia three days a week and combined this with paid lecturing in health psychology (or paid adhoc research assistant interview work). I also worked one day a w...

Hey, Feel free to send PMs if you're interested in the health psychology career pathway. Happy to help. Professional Doctorates in Health Psychology are self funded, but trainees typically work in paid full time (or part time) placements and pay for fees via salaries. From my understanding, there's ...

Both involve almost all direct client work within two different NHS services (chronic pain and neuropsychology), alongside clinical/counselling psychologists. Lots of new exciting challenges and slight departure from my researc...

Have people had feedback on interviews yet? And if so, has it been helpful? My Lancaster feedback was "Ok" but was quite generic (after comparing it to others who had feedback from Lancaster). I am due to hear in June/July about Liverpool and Glasgow. I hope all are well! 'Ski Hey Ski, Sadly, I'm o...

There's definite scope for an extended trip especially if I'm able to find academic/psychology jobs out there. There's a st...

Hoping for good news re these interviews. No news fr...

1. Lingua_Franca, your post made me feel really sad and reminded me of similar circumstances in my own personal life.
