IAPT Provision Information for Service Providers and Commissioners
What makes us different:
Anne-Janine Fletcher has recently started studying our Doctor of Health and Social Care Practice.
As an art psychotherapist and having completed the MA level at Derby, it enabled me to continue research at a high level with a group of professionals from diverse backgrounds. This course will enable me to have a voice for my profession and clients through dissemination of research through a variety of mediums.
