St Andrew’s is dedicated to training across a range of professions, with students and postgraduates on placements from several universities. The charity is keen to support and complement the NHS in training future consultant psychiatrists, whilst staying true to public sector principles.
St Andrew’s offers a good representation of trainers and supports aspects of the new curriculum that many other providers will find hard to deliver.
Our team is vastly experienced and can offer development in a range of specialist psychiatric services beyond the scope of many providers, through four training centres, all with modern, high-quality facilities and access to staff benefits such as on-site cafes and sports facilities:
- Northampton is the St Andrew’s headquarters and home to adolescent mental health, women’s services, learning disability, brain injury and the charity’s research team
- Birmingham is a regional centre providing men’s and women’s services
- Nottinghamshire is a regional centre specialising in men’s services for people with mental illness and learning disability
- Essex is a regional centre specialising in low-secure provision for men and women with a forensic history or personality disorders.
