There are three Academic Groups within the SNPCH:

Nurses play a critical role in society: they help individuals achieve, maintain or regain independence and the best possible health, and at other times, they provide comfort, support and dignity in times of illness or death. They often work in conjunction with families, groups or the larger community. In addition to professionalism, a nurse must practice with intelligence, compassion and enthusiasm.

This programme builds upon candidates current psychotherapy knowledge,competencies and skills to enable the development of an inquiry-based attitude to practice and will inform the implementation of research projects that advance the boundaries of psychotherapy knowledge and locates participants as an authority in their chosen area or field of interest. Participants in the Doctorate programme will exit with the knowledge and ability to work as senior psychotherapists and researchers.
