Thanks for bringing this to our attention Annie,
Deeply worrying stuff in terms of cp. I agree with Annie, we woudl benefit
from some debate on this....
We know how ineffective similar professional regulating bodies have been re:
the Medical Research Council which has been criticised for doing more to
protect the interests of doctors than patients. That aside, what are the
implications for our talk of getting CP BPS recognition?
If the BPS has recommended that seven of it ten divisions should come under
the Health Act provision which seeks to 'regulate professions that are
concered (wholly or partly) with the physical or mental health of
individuals' would this mean that if we become a 'recognised' part of the
profession of psychology, that we too might come under this provision? If
so, could this effectively butcher our network through cleaving open
divisions between those who would be legally permitted to call themselves
community psychologists (and prepared to pay out yet another subscription
fee to belong to yet another professional body) and those who would not!! I
don't know the answers I am afraid....
kind thoughts
paul

Subject: [COMMUNITYPSYCHUK] FWD: Registration of Clinical Psychologists
>Dear all,
===
You may like to look at and comment, as explained in the document, on the
proposals for clinical and other
applied psychologists to become registered under the Health Professions
Council. This will be compulsory for employment in the NHS (and will cost
you!).
We might like to debate what this means for community psychologists as
applied
practitioners.
Annie
