I'm so sorry to hear that you've had these experiences and that they've had this effect. I would say that it's important to to be in communication with Occupational Health, and that you're seeing someone for your own therapy. I think chatting to HR is the first most and most important thing that you...

No you don't.

Thinking of you and your little one.

I listen to Women's Hour pretty religiously!

My advice would be to find a potential supervisor and go from there. In my experience, those that are successful in being granted funding, are those that have a lot of support from their to-be-supervisor. It can be a political minefield, and so it can be a lot easier with someone on your side. I wou...

1. I only got the bloody job!

2. Amazing, considering I thought the interview was tomorrow, so had done very little prep

3. This is going to make such a difference to my family as my crazy 1.5 hour commute will be halved

4. Dreading telling my lovely boss and team

I emailed about joining the Qualified boards, but didn't hear anything. Not urgent, of course but wanted to check it was received?

Sorry, El, I've only just seen that you asked a question! It worked out fantastically. I went part time. I was on placement 3 days a week, and then at home 2.

Evening all. Could someone please tell me (in simple steps for an exhausted mother of non-sleeping child) how I go about joining the Qualified section?

WASI, even!

Oh I see, do you mean buying a new, older version? Interesting, shall look.

Good point, bluecat. I'm more stumped about where to look? Any ideas??

Afternoon all. I'm working for a charity (as a clinical psychologist), and we're looking to buy a WISC. Obviously, quite pricey brand new, so I wondred whether anyone knew whether there's any way of getting one second hand? Probably not, but I would love to save the team budget some pennies!
