According to the leading mental health charity MIND one in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. This means you will meet people who have a mental health problem regardless of your sector or speciality of practice. We also know that chronic physical health problems can trigger mental health issues and vice versa.
Despite the high prevalence of mental health problems there is sadly still much stigma associated with mental health and we all have an important role in changing this. Ensuring that people with mental health problems are treated equally to those with physical health issues is a key element of this. If you avoid consulting with people with mental health problems you have identified a learning and development need for yourself and you are in the right area of our website!
Improving your knowledge about mental illness and developing your skills in consulting with people experiencing mental health problems will provide you with the confidence to help and support people in their recovery and really make a difference to them and their families.
On this page you will find guidance and learning about common mental health disorders including anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
PLEASE NOTE: You will not be able to book onto this event if you have previously attended the Mental Health and wellbeing in primary care study day or the Mental health and wellbeing in primary care online workshops A and B.
This online workshop focuses on common mental health conditions seen in primary care. It will enable you to support patients with a mental health condition to optimise their medicines. It will combine principles of team-based learning (TBL) to facilitate networking and discussion whilst consolidating the underpinning knowledge about antidepressants, benzodiazepines and z-hypnotics. Teams will work through simple and more complex case studies to apply knowledge and share best practice.
