OCTC is a self-funding agency within Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (OBMH), with a remit to provide specialised cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) services, particularly in teaching and training. We have to generate enough income to cover all our costs and have done this successfully every year since the centre was established over 10 years ago. Our main activities are:

• Diploma and certificate courses in CBT (one year) and Advanced CBT studies (two years), accredited by Oxford University
• Shorter training programmes in CBT at all levels, from beginners to the most advanced, to a wide range of audiences in Oxford, around the UK and abroad. Audiences include nurses, doctors, psychologists, counsellors, graduate workers and many other groups, in various locations all around the UK. Our overseas programmes include regular contributions to CBT courses in Poland and Iceland, as well as occasional training in Denmark, Norway, Thailand & other countries
• Our new on-line video training modules
• Clinical supervision, face-to-face, by telephone or via live internet video link
• A private patients’ clinic
• Self-help booklets for patients, and guides for clinicians
