Why This Cycle Matters

All four programmes in this notification are aligned with the mental health and allied health workforce shortage in the North East. Trained psychiatric nurses, clinical psychologists and psychiatric social workers remain scarce in the region. Admission through GU adds regulated professional seats to this pipeline.
