Research in the Clinical Psychology Unit
The Clinical Psychology Unit (CPU) houses a group of research active clinical academics who are committed to enhancing clinical research through publication in quality journals, contributing to developments in clinical practice through the dissemination of research findings, and providing excellence in professional training and the local provision of clinical services.
The CPU is part of the Department of Psychology, which is among the largest in the UK, and has been consistently ranked as one of the outstanding research departments.
Collaborative ResearchThe CPU is uniquely placed to advocate for and disseminate the contribution of Psychology throughout the University and the local NHS. Accordingly, many staff collaborate with other clinical academics within the University and within the NHS, often leading to cross-cutting interdisciplinary research and publication in non-psychology journals. Staff also have national and international collaborations. Clinical tutor staff, although not returned through the REF exercise, are also research active, publishing across a range of refereed and professional journals. The CPU is part of the Psychology Department and provides NHS-funded training in clinical psychology and IAPT services. It has research expertise in the following areas: Psychological Therapies/interventions; Clinical Health Psychology (particularly adjustment to chronic illness, reproductive health, and neuropsychology); Psychosis; and Learning Disabilities. The CPU also co-hosts the Centre for Psychological Services Research (CPSR) which is an interdisciplinary collaboration with the University's School of Health & Related Research (ScHARR). We also have close links with local NHS Trusts and many of the members of the Unit are clinically active. If you would like to discuss potential research collaborations please contact the relevant member of the academic team directly or if you have a general query about trainee research please contact Dr. Andrew Thompson. Links to staff contact details can be found via the research themes link opposite.
