D E R B Y: Marvel of the Midlands The Independent

With good job prospects, an affordable standard of living, and a resilient economy, Derby is a great city to make your home when you graduate. Whatever you want from life, you’re sure to find it here. With the Peak District National Park and the National Forest on our doorstep, you can have the best of both worlds – the cosmopolitan bustle of the city and the peace and quiet of beautiful countryside. And, in such a vibrant community, you will find that Derby is a great place to network with potential employers and fellow professionals. The city offers an exciting cultural scene. It’s home to a regional dance centre and orchestra, 36 cinema screens, theatres, art galleries, and a UNESCO World Heritage site at Derwent Valley Mills. QUAD is Derby’s newest contemporary arts centre, showcasing visual arts, film, and media. As well as hosting exhibitions from international artists – it was home to the first BFI Mediatheque outside London – its facilities and services connect people and businesses, creating opportunities for entertainment, employment, and education. Then there’s Déda, the dance-focused arts venue that houses performance spaces and professionally equipped dance studios. And, of course, our own Derby Theatre, home to top-rated touring shows and providing an inspirational learning environment for our students. Hailed as ‘the city of festivals’ by the Financial Times, Derby hosts the FORMAT International Photography Festival, Derby

Festé, iD film festival, Derby Jazz Festival, the UK’s largest free outdoor classical concert, and its own renowned Food and Drink Festival, held in the spectacular grounds of historic Elvaston Castle. For shopping, the city’s blend of modern and traditional charm has something for everyone: quirky shops and pavement cafés in the Cathedral Quarter, a modern shopping mall, Westfield Derby, high street brands in St Peters Quarter and the bustling Eagle Market. There are over 100 cafés, bars, pubs, and restaurants, so whether you want a quiet drink in ‘the real ale capital of the world’ (Lonely Planet), a night out watching sport on the big screen, or cocktails in fashionable bars, you’ll find it here. We’re a diverse multicultural community, with at least 182 nationalities and 71 languages, and that’s reflected in the vast array of cuisines available, from authentic Far East to traditional English fare. Getting around is easy. The Unibus links the city centre, railway station, hospital, and all our sites and halls. It runs every ten minutes and student fares are subsidised. If you live further afield, you can get a train to Derby station or catch the Red Arrow bus between Derby and Nottingham. There are 35 trains to London St Pancras International from Derby every weekday – a 90-minute journey, so a day trip to the capital is definitely on the cards.

There have been few winners among the UK’s industrial cities in recent years, but Derby stands out for the strength of its local economy. Jonathan Guthrie, Financial Times

RESEARCH has a purpose

We are committed to evidence based practice, and believe it’s vital that we undertake research that impacts upon the learning of our students and the advancement of the health sector, in particular, enhancing the quality of patient/service user care.

We have two research groups; the Health and Social Care Research Group and the Applied Mental Health Research Group.

Health and Social Care Research Group The Health and Social Care Research Group is made up of five clusters:  Role Transition and Continuing Development of Health Professionals  Health, Art and Body  Public and Community Health  Health and Occupation  Health and Diagnostic Imaging.

Role Transition and Continuing Development of Health Professionals We’re undertaking collaborative research commissioned by the Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, centring on the development of newly qualified nurses in hospital settings. Other work includes an SHA-funded project on medical supervision and a study of the transition from practitioner to lecturer.

Health, Art and Body How people view themselves and their body can have a huge impact on both mental and physical health and wellbeing. We’re working with Dance 123BID and Staffordshire University to investigate dance psychotherapy and body image with young people. We’re also considering the use of art with victims of domestic violence in Derby, and the use of dance therapy with people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and other conditions.

strong relationships with local community trusts. This includes a new social enterprise in Derby, the Family Nurse Partnership, which supports vulnerable new parents in the first few years of their child’s life with the aim of improving health outcomes for the family.

Health and Occupation We focus on how participating in activities that are purposeful and meaningful to individuals and groups can have a positive impact on health and wellbeing. We are working on a range of projects with educational and clinical relevance. Further research is looking at the use of virtual worlds in stroke rehabilitation.

Health and Diagnostic Imaging We’re currently undertaking research into the use of Doppler ultrasound as a predictor of recovery of renal function in critical care patients at risk of acute kidney injury. We’ve also been collaborating with our colleagues in sport, using ultrasound to measure diaphragm thickness in elite weight lifters.

Applied Mental Health Research Group

Public and Community Health

This Group is a collaboration between the University and Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. We support small scale studies undertaken by Trust staff, but are also involved in UK-wide studies, and have a reputation for research in a number of areas including mood disorders, psychosis, social anxiety, shame, self-criticism, and compassion.

Recent research and current projects in this area include a literature review of the perceptions of teenagers on parenthood and the dual role of community nurses who are also practice teachers. Our research in this area is supported by our

We have a particular specialism in compassion focused therapy (CFT) which addresses people’s difficulties in selfacceptance or self-kindness, especially when faced with distressing situations.

Professor Paul Gilbert, who directs our research group, is an international expert in this field. We are just completing a study looking at the effectiveness of CFT for people with chronic eating difficulties (anorexia) and we are hoping to expand our research and therapeutic work to more clinical areas within the Trust. We’re also proud to say that we are among the first to identify the fear of positive emotion and, in particular, the fear of compassion. As a result, we’re undertaking ground-breaking research to explore this in therapeutic contexts. Additional research currently being undertaken includes:  compassion on the wards  competitiveness and caring  compassionate and critical facial expressions  different types of positive effects in student and bipolar populations  entrapment.

Interested in studying a research degree? In addition to our teaching teams, our doctoral students are contributing to knowledge within the healthcare sector and their work is steadily gaining national recognition. We offer a Doctorate in Health and Social Care Practice which allows you to specialise in fields ranging from drama psychotherapy to radiography. See page 79 for more details.

Postgraduate Certificate Clinical Supervision

Essential Information Location Online learning Duration One year Start dates September, January, or May

About the course

Course details

This is the only online postgraduate qualification of its kind in the UK – specially developed for counsellors, psychotherapists, or other mental health professionals looking to develop their clinical supervision skills.

You will study these modules:

During the course you will develop your knowledge of models, theories, and practices associated with providing clinical supervision within a range of contexts. The course explores the nature of supervision and how supervisory theories and practices can be developed and adapted to work within your specific organisational contexts.

There is a rich variety of course materials to support you with your studies and a highly qualified online tutor who will work with you via online discussion forums and our virtual classroom. You will need to be able to offer clinical supervision to a minimum of one supervisee or one group for a minimum of eight sessions within the duration of the course.

Foundations of Supervisory Practice (20 credits) This module examines a wide range of theories and models of clinical supervision, both those developed specifically within various counselling and psychotherapy approaches and those that transcend therapeutic modality. We will also examine the relationship between educational theory and supervision theories and ethical practice. These various models and theories will be examined through the lens of the therapist–supervisor relationship. Developing Supervisory Practice (20 credits) This module examines the relationship of theory to practice within clinical supervision. This is achieved by examining theory and epistemology in the wider context and then examining this in relation to the practice of clinical supervision. It will provide an opportunity to develop or adapt a supervision model or models that have practical and theoretical integrity, as well as the chance to reflect on your learning.

I ’m a team leader, supervisor, and therapist; it’s a hands-on job and I’ve no time to travel to the University so studying online was very accessible for me. I would definitely recommend this course – it’s absolutely fantastic. Sally Holder, graduate

Supervisory Practice and Evaluation within an Organisational Context (20 credits) This module is a requirement for students undertaking a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision. It addresses both the personal development and supervision skills that are required in relation to the theory and skills studied in the previous modules, and that would be expected of senior organisational supervisors.

An important element of supervision is the need to evaluate your performance in terms of the outcomes and benefits to your supervisees and within an organisational, legal, and professional context. The module examines various ways of setting up supervisor networks, and will equip you with an understanding of the structure and culture of organisations and their effects on supervision.

Entry requirements You will need to be a professionally qualified therapist with a minimum of 18 months’ post-qualification experience. You will also need to be able to offer clinical supervision to a minimum of one supervisee or one group for a minimum of eight sessions within the duration of the course Fees 2013/2014 fees for UK/EU students are £620 per 20-credit online module.

This course has absolutely changed my life, not just through doing the training but also through looking towards getting work after I leave. That is something the tutors really do focus on.

Find out more www.derby.ac.uk/videos/alison-vulli

We’re looking at the transition towards becoming a psychotherapist and everything that involves, so it’s a truly multi-faceted course. I wanted something that joined up all the other things I had done before and this course achieves that perfectly. There are two modules I’ve particularly enjoyed. One is about movement observation and, as dance movement psychotherapists, that’s one of the primary tools of our work. The other is an experiential module where we have to make a short film supported by a critique. You have got this creative synthesis going on and you need to think deeply about the academic rigour and the psychological theory that underpins what you have produced in your film.

The tutors have been outstanding too. They are supportive and always available to help but also really firm – they tell it as it is! We’re required to do clinical placements for a certain number of hours and that’s very interesting because we meet so many different people from within our own profession and other professions as well. This course has absolutely changed my life, not just through doing the training but also through looking towards getting work after I leave. That is something the tutors really do focus on. I have so enjoyed the experience of studying here. I’m already thinking of coming back fairly swiftly to do a PhD.

I have really appreciated meeting the other students, we’ve got a brilliant group.
