The treatments were delivered by
NHS mental health workers and therapists in NHS Mental health Trusts in Devon (Devon Partnership NHS Trust), County Durham (Tees, Esk and Wear Valley's NHS Foundation Trust) and Leeds (Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust).
Meanwhile discussions elsewhere reached consensus on disability rights, taking competition out of the
NHS, tribunal fees, legal aid, zero - hours and short - hours contracts, agency
workers, immigration, local government funding, housing, the Middle East, the minimum wage, the living wage, Royal Mail, the railways, science and technology,
mental health, fracking, animal welfare, Lords reform, reducing smoking and consumption of alcohol, fats and sugar, reaffirming all - women shortlists, youth services, careers advice, sexual and relationship education, and even the 11 - plus (recognising that selection at age 11 damaged education for all children, but stopping short of abolishing existing grammar schools).
The obvious choice for such experience is the
NHS, which hires graduates as assistant psychologists, psychological well - being practitioners or primary care
mental health workers.
Bullying and discrimination by
NHS managers has led to absences among
mental health workers, and past policies have failed to stop this, research shows.
