We worked with NHS Digital to produce a series of videos to raise awareness and understanding of mental health rehabilitation services.
Where an individual has gained a CCT without rehabilitation
accreditation they may apply to the Faculty for recognition of competency in
this field. The Specialist Advisory Committee Chairman will work with the
Regional Representative on how and whether this can be granted. There is no
legal process to add accreditations to existing CCTs but this will attest to
rights to be accepted as a trainer in rehabilitation and may help with
appointments committees. In such cases a letter that supports the person's
competency in rehabilitation psychiatry can be provided by the Faculty Chair. For further information contact Stella Galea, Faculty & Committee Manager on stella.galea@rcpsych.ac.uk .
