Portfolio submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Staffordshire University for the degree of Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology

This portfolio showcases the work I have completed whilst undertaking the Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology, part-time, at the University of Staffordshire.

The portfolio is divided into five chapters, representing the five core competencies of Health Psychology:

1. Professional Competence in Health Psychology
2. Advanced Research Methods
3. Consultancy in Health Psychology
4. Teaching and Training in Health Psychology
5. Psychological Interventions

My proficiency in each of these competencies is demonstrated via research manuscripts, case studies and reports, documenting the work undertaken. In addition, reflective reports detail my continued professional development, and what I have learned from the opportunities and experiences gained while completing my doctorate. The work was completed through my employment, firstly, with a private, third sector neurorehabilitation organisation, and secondly with Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. However, in accordance with course guidelines, the opportunity for my Consultancy competency was sourced outside out my employment.
