We also carry out clinical audit, research and service evaluation.

We have strong links with the Doctoral Training Programmes at the University of Teesside, and we provide teaching, placements and research projects for Clinical Psychology, Counselling Psychology and Health Psychology trainees.

The Trust encourages innovation and service development, and we actively support this within the Medical Psychology service.
