Improve your understanding of the psychological impact of COVID-19

Dr Marcela Schilderman and Sandra Parish pitched the training brilliantly for such a mixed group (of non-clinicians and clinicians) and had designed very realistic scenarios which we could relate to directly.

Really helpful course and highly relevant
and useful to everyday work.

The knowledge and skills help children in many areas e.g. friendships, learning, attitude, dealing with problems at home and school. Skills will stay with them as they progress helping them to be reflective and emotionally resilient.

Despite feeling completely out of my comfort zone the day was truly exceptional. The knowledge gained both visually from each scenario and formal information regarding each mental health condition I will be able to take forward into my practice. I will strongly encourage colleagues who are given the opportunity to attend.

I just wanted to thank the team at the Maudsley simulation lab so much for the psychiatric simulation course last Monday (building on the foundations). I think it has really improved my confidence, it was so interesting and engaging and I just learned so much! I keep ranting to friends how incredibly realistic it was and I really wish that all medical students were given the opportunity to do something like this. I feel so lucky to have been able to come along.

Both speakers were great and as a result I feel like I have a keen interest in mental health and would like to one day have a role where I am working closely with this cohort of patients
