The above artwork is our Making Positive Moves logo, and was designed by Joan, who inspired the project, and continues to be one of our expert by experience collaborators.The authors argue that it is both possible and important for clinical psychologists to lead research grants, noting the potential to influence national policy, guidelines and work alongside experts by experience to change the research environment. The authors go on to outline their research journeys, noting the key experiences that sparked their interest to take research further. The process of applying for and ultimately successfully securing a National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) grant is outlined, and key learnings noted.

This project aimed to investigate attitudes towards research and perceived research culture among trainee clinical psychologists across the UK. This was achieved by exploring factors such as: research training environment, research attitudes, research self-efficacy, and professional identity. An online survey was completed by 44 trainee clinical psychologists who started training in 2020. The findings showed that UK trainee clinical psychologists did not perceive a strong research training environment, they did not hold strong attitudes towards research, or have positive research self-efficacy as indicated in previous research. It is of some concern that the role of researcher, as part of the identity of a clinical psychologist, was not seen to be instrumental by most trainees. Important differences in the results of this research compared to previous published literature are discussed, in addition to a consideration of the implications of these findings for training and the post-qualification role of clinical psychologists.

NHS organisations recognise the importance of putting service users at the centre of everything they do, but this principle needs to be clear in the values and behaviours of services. A key action related to this is the capacity and capability of services to effectively collect feedback on service users’ experience of care, in addition to outcomes of care. Unfortunately, our clinical experience suggests that there is a lack of consistency and consensus across services on how to best gather, analyse and, therefore, meaningfully use this data that is provided in good faith by service users. This article describes some of the challenges we have noticed when dealing with service user feedback data and offers guidance and suggestions on how services can manage such data effectively and efficiently.

Historically, the dissemination of research findings across many disciplines has been limited to peer reviewed journals. More recently, dissemination practices are broadening to include sharing with wider audiences, such as the community being researched. At the University of Hertfordshire some doctoral clinical psychology trainees disseminate more widely than others. Research has not yet asked what helps support trainees on the programme to disseminate their work beyond scientific publication, or what barriers disrupt this. This programme-related project utilised a mixed methods survey which aimed to gain an understanding of barriers to community dissemination practices and how these could be overcome. Results indicated that, although participants strongly agreed that findings should be shared with communities researched, barriers to delivering this exist. The identified barriers to community dissemination included time and limited awareness of community dissemination practices. Further support from supervisors and teaching on wider dissemination practices may help trainees to disseminate more widely. This is important as it could move dissemination outside of the academic community where findings could reach those who could benefit most from them.

Clinical Psychology has long been criticised as a profession that is rooted in coloniality, that preserves whiteness as the norm through its practices. Arguably, this has led to many racial disparities in the mental health outcomes for racially minoritised groups living in the UK. In more recent years, clinical psychology training courses (DClinPsy) have focused their efforts to develop Equality, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, leading to changes in the curriculum.The aim of the current study is to explore how trainee clinical psychologists (TCP) understand racial equity and decolonisation in relation to the DClinPsy curriculum and research practices. Also, to explore whether trainees have experienced any changes in relation to racial equity and decolonisation agendas and what changes would they like to see in the future.Three focus groups were conducted with TCPs across various DClinPsy courses, which were analysed using a thematic analysis.The data presented four themes: ‘defining and enacting racial equity’, ‘the DClinPsy course content’, ‘structural and societal barriers’ and ‘the future’.The findings highlight the various complexities and dilemmas that surround DClinPsy courses. The results also show key areas of progression, development, and recommendations to enhance the racial equitability of the DClinPsy curriculum and research practices, in the hope of improving the mental health service provision and outcomes for racially-minoritised groups.
