Health Psychology Education and Training in Countries Represented in the EHPS

The overall theme of this special issue is the status quo of Health Psychology, and the implementation of Health Psychology in countries represented in the EHPS. Within this theme, we aimed to build on the work of Byrne et al. (2017), by discussing results of a second survey that aimed to further describe the status of Health Psychology education and training across countries represented in the EHPS. In addition, we aimed to reflect on perceived needs for future development, and to provide two case examples from countries represented in the EHPS to facilitate knowledge sharing across the EHPS. The results have shown that education and training in Health Psychology does not exist in isolation but overlaps with other issues covered within this special issue of the European Psychologist, in particular employability and legislation. The need for the development of European-wide standards for Health Psychology, including an agreed definition of the profession, agreed core competencies and associated training, was endorsed by nearly all participants and would facilitate mobility among Health Psychologists across Europe.
