Who is ACP UK for?

ACP-UK is for all clinical psychologists and clinical trainees. ACP-UK also includes experts by experience and representation from diverse groups appointed to its Citizens’ Assembly. Other applied psychologists, psychology graduates and interested members of the public are welcomed as associate members.

We are a professional body which intends to be proactive in promoting clinical psychology to British society, healthcare managers and professions, reactive to national developments in health and social care in a timely manner, supportive of clinical psychologists in their workplaces and to champion the rights and needs of our service users.

To do this we need money. Our income is entirely reliant on individual subscriptions.
If you share our objectives and would like them to be achieved, we ask you to become a subscriber to ACP-UK.

Membership Benefits Include

The ACP-UK membership includes some of the UK’s (and world) experts in terms of specific problems and psychological applications in health and social care. Where timely comment is appropriate, we will approach these experts in relation to their specific area of expertise without recourse to committees or burdensome and time-wasting approval protocols.

In other matters ACP-UK undertakes rapid membership consultations using the web-based Qualtrics system and uses the collective output to formulate public statements. ACP-UK includes local networks of clinical psychologists and encourages professional mentoring and peer support relationships.
