Job description
Job responsibilities

EMPHs are required to become registered practitioners on qualification, there are two registering bodies British Psychological Society (BPS) and British Association for Behaviour and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). These registrations do require membership and registration fees. Please discuss this during your training year.
The trainee EMHPs are funded by NHS England (formally HEE). More details around the funding of these course can be explained at interview.
