OPCU is an established Care Unit and psychology is valued. We are engaged in several service development programmes.

Psychologists are integral to this process, and you would support and participate in such developments.

There is a strong and developing network of Psychologists across the Trust, and within the care unit. We have relationships with professional training courses and academic institutions, which provides further research, supervision and teaching opportunities.
