About the course

This course is a face-to-face, 1-day course developed for both clinical and non-clinical staff working in acute hospital settings, seeing patients with co-morbid mental and physical health presentations. The course will interlace theory-based teaching, video case scenarios, and interactive reflective discussions led by simulation faculty. The case scenarios will reflect a broad spectrum of mental health conditions commonly encountered in acute hospital settings. The primary goal of the course is to empower participants and build confidence as well as knowledge in managing challenging and complex co-morbid presentations within their clinical environments, with a focus on de-escalation strategies and trauma-informed care.

Discover a broader array of mental health training tailored specifically for hospital staff by exploring our comprehensive selection.

Learning objectives
  • Identify common mental health presentations and comorbid diagnoses that occur in acute care settings.
  • Show understanding, through reflective discussions, of how systemic barriers and intersectionality can affect a patient’s access to and experience of care.
  • Develop an understanding of good de-escalation techniques, effective communication, and active listening when engaging with a distressed patient.
  • Enhance understanding of the intersection between mental health and physical health.
  • Develop an understanding of trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and how these may affect and present in patients under your care.
  • Develop an understanding of legal frameworks in the management of individuals with mental health challenges in acute care settings.
