Improving access to psychological therapies: workforce census report
The 2015 Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Workforce Census Report offers the most comprehensive view to date of the size and shape of the IAPT workforce in England, including insight into the capacity of IAPT services to offer the full range of National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommended psychological therapies.
The report provides information about the current skill mix and skill gaps, retention and turnover of staff, as well as identifying staff groups likely to benefit from IAPT training courses. CCG-level data can be used to inform workforce planning, planning for IAPT expansion, and quality improvement locally.
