Hi Rose1,

I have to say both are quite different in the UK. As someone that received an offer for both the doctorate in clinical psychology and a PhD. As mentioned the PhD is more research focused and would generally be looking at an academic career unless you gain some additional clinical qualification etc (doing the clinical doctorate, an MSc in CBT, DBT ...). In order to meet the minimum criteria for applying for the clinical doctorate, you need an undergraduate degree in Psychology (or a conversion), clinical work experience (preferably under supervision of a clinical psychologist- which is a protected title)- you can check the bps for more info https://careers.bps.org.uk/area/clinical. with this you can register with the HCPC and conduct clinical work privately, NHS etc...
PhD on the other hand can allow you to register with the BPS as a chartered psychologist but not HCPC and thus no clinical work. Unless as mentioned you gain additional training. This does not mean that you can't work with patients but this will be limited to research, teaching purposes etc not treatment.

Hope this helps.

Hi, like you I am due to start a PhD in October. I had an informal chat via Skype recently with my 3 supervisors. I did not prepare for anything but had questions around finances (well additional), courses I could do (qualittative), stationary and working alongside PhD. I already work and my work would like me to stay P/T so I needed to confirm if this was ok or they would find me a role e.g. teaching etc. I also have a 3 year old so was interested in getting more information around the structure of the PhD. But as others said it was quite informal.. we talked about impact of COVID more than anything, lack of holidays etc.. Hope it goes well.
