<p>The education and training of psychological professionals in England remains a
Health Education England (HEE) priority during the COVID-19 outbreak. Regulatory bodies

staff training continues during COVID-19 such as moving studies on line to ensure
we continue to have the pipeline of staff we need to support patients and to accommodate
increased demand.</p><p>Education and training in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales
is a matter for each of the devolved administrations.</p><p> </p>
