Hello! Nice to meet you.
Below you can get to know a bit about each member of our team across both Derriford Hospital Children's and Young Peoples Outpatients Department (CYPOD) and the Child Development Centre. We also often have Trainee Clinical Psychologists and Trainee Children Wellbeing Practitioners working with us too so you may get to meet and work with one of them during your time with us if you are happy to do so.
