Staffing IAPT Services
Large numbers of staff - including nurses, clinical and counselling psychologists, counsellors and psychotherapists, working in the NHS or the private and voluntary sectors, are likely to be able to contribute to the new IAPT services.
Commissioners and providers can use the IAPT Worker Registration Form to assess the levels of skills and training in the existing workforce and establish a workforce profile that will support their recruitment effort.
