SMP tutor training

Becoming a tutor for the SMP is an excellent opportunity for personal and professional development as well as a great way to contribute to the positive outcomes of the initiative. In delivering the programme you will also have the opportunity to qualify as a nationally accredited tutor.

We are recruiting healthcare professionals who have experience of working with people with long-term conditions and non-professionals who have experience of living with depression and self-managing.
