For the development of the Assistant Practitioner (AP) in Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) based in Greater Manchester.
There has never been a more important and exciting time to work in mental health. This is why I am developing the new role of Assistant Practitioner (AP) in Improving Access into Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services. It will encourage people to look at this initiative and create enthusiasm within the IAPT Network towards maximising workforce resources. In essence, we are looking to widen participation so that we can diversify our workforce in representing the communities they serve and make a more positive impact on patient care.
