Title:

Mental Health Awareness for Healthcare professionals

Description:

The Department of Health have mandated Health Education England (HEE) to develop bespoke e-learning mental health learning resources for the Primary Care workforce. HEE has developed a set of four 20 to 30 minute e-learning sessions. The sessions presume very little prior knowledge of psychiatry and are designed to be accessed by GPs, Primary Care Nurses and other Primary Care based health professionals.

The content and structure of the sessions was designed in collaboration with the RCGP; based upon the identified learning needs of their members. The session topics include Self-Harm, Psychological Therapies, Physical Health Care for Mental Health Patients and Medically Unexplained symptoms.

All content is fully referenced and the learner is signposted to additional detailed learning resources for more advanced learning.
