In today's episode, we look at life after the training journey! We tackle how to deal with the 'jump' from being a trainee to being qualified (in both lifestyle and workload), take a look at what it's like to move across different services, and also have a brief discussion about other learning opportunities after training! We'll be doing another episode soon on opportunities outside of Talking Therapies / IAPT - so stay tuned!
