About the course

A free, one-day, simulation-based course focusing on promoting mental health and wellbeing in patients seen by community pharmacists. The course aims to be a high-fidelity, immersive session to develop confidence and skills in recognising mental distress and promoting wellbeing, help patients reduce their risks of developing mental illness, and understand related issues such as self-harm, stress, and sleep problems. The course is specifically for pharmacists working in primary care. You will increase skills and confidence in promoting well-being for individuals with long-term mental health conditions, co-morbid mental and physical health issues, and those generally experiencing mental distress for any reason.
