The APT Hub for Mental Health Professionals' Development

**This refresher course is only available to those that have completed 'Providing Good Clinical Supervision' and are wanting to refresh their knowledge and renew their APT Accreditation.** Clinical supervision is a key concept that many people are unclear about. Unclear whether 'supervision' means that you should be ensuring that the supervisee is 'doing it right' or whether you should be providing a sounding board for the supervisee to develop their clinical thinking, or what. And many people are equally unsure about exactly what their professional body has to say about it, and where to find that out. This course is designed to clear up all of the above by looking at what we need to achieve in supervision, how to establish a competent supervision contract, and how to deliver on that contract. The aim is, therefore, that by the end of the course you will both (a) know about clinical supervision and (b) be good at providing it. The APT has mastered the delivery of this training 'online anytime'; providing top class training you can access right now or any time that suits you. No longer do you have to wait for 'the start date' of the course. "Thank you, very comprehensive and really enjoyed the summaries and examples/activities." Training from the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT), includes APT accreditation, certification, and resources. And the APT has perfected the art of delivering it in a way that makes it appear simple and easy to apply. "Really enjoyable and helpful." As the author of the approach and with a wealth of clinical experience, Dr William Davies presents the course with relevant stories and examples, and an engaging lightness which perfectly complements the weight of the topic.   "The course provided me with valuable tools and skills that I can use effectively in my job." This course is APT-accredited, and gives you access to important resources for you to use post-course. Whether you simply want to broaden your knowledge or want to provide supervision, this course is for you. This refresher course renews your accreditation for a further 3 years. The course is suitable for individual learners and for organisations wishing to enrol multiple staff members, with access provided on a per-person basis.

**This refresher course is only available to those that have completed 'Single-Session Therapy' and are wanting to refresh their knowledge and renew their APT Accreditation.** All clinicians want to provide patients with the maximum benefit, but many are acutely aware that while they are providing one person with the best they can offer, they are providing ten or more others with nothing at all. And that clearly isn’t equitable, either for the patients concerned or for the clinician, who often feels frustrated and under pressure as a result. This course is designed to illustrate that there is a realistic solution to the dilemma and that a single session input can be surprisingly effective and rewarding, both for patients and clinicians. Appropriately for busy clinicians, this is a suitably short course! The APT has mastered the delivery of Single Session Therapy training 'online anytime'; providing top class training you can access right now or any time that suits you. No longer do you have to wait for 'the start date' of the course. "Really good to be given reassurance that this form of therapy can be the most appropriate and the skills to deliver this to a high standard."

SST will definitely be a new tool I will use in my role and be very beneficial to service users as well as the efficiency of the service. I feel more confident in some aspects of my role due to this training." With a wealth of clinical experience, Dr William Davies presents the course with relevant examples and an engaging lightness which perfectly complements the power of the subject.   "Very much enjoyed this training ... the best external training provider I have experienced in the last few years."

This is exactly what the DICES system helps you to do, and in an interesting and engaging way that heightens your clinical practice.
