*​To support an understanding of my training and clinical skills and in the absence of an equivalent framework in England and Wales, I have adopted the NHS Education for Scotland (NES)  ‘Transforming Psychological Trauma: A Knowledge and Skills Framework' in recognition of Scotland's world leading commitment to developing a National Trauma Training Strategy for professionals.
As outlined in the Survivor Scotland Strategic Outcomes and Priorities (2015–2017) publication.  https://transformingpsychologicaltrauma.scot/media/x54hw43l/nationaltraumatrainingframework.pdf
