Vicky Scott
BSc (Hons) Information Systems and Psychology,
PgC Primary Care Mental Health Practice
Victoria joined Mental Health Strategies in 2006. Before this she worked as a Primary Care Graduate Mental Health Worker (PCGMHW) for North Cumbria Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Trust and six years as a part time Web Designer.
As part of training for her post as a PCGMHW she undertook a postgraduate certificate in Primary Care Mental Health Practice. On this course she gained clinical skills such as assessment, problem formulation, clinical programme implementation and evaluation. This equipped her to implement a range of evidence-based low-intensity psychological treatments for people with mild to moderate mental health problems.
While working as a PCGMHW she managed a project to create a North Cumbria Mental Health Website. This project required the collection of information about relevant local and national voluntary organisations, self help books and downloadable self help materials.
One assignment Victoria has recently worked on is Finance and Service Mapping for Mental Health 2006/07.
In her spare time Victoria enjoys cooking Asian food for her friends.
