About the course

This is a one-day course aimed at any front line clinician with face to face patient contact. This includes: mental health nurses, healthcare assistants, care support workers and psychiatric doctors.

The course serves as an introduction to several safety models including the ‘4 Steps to Safety’ framework and is suitable for staff who are interested in developing their communication skills and having a forum to discuss/explore alternative strategies for prevention/de-escalation.

Participants will be involved in a series of scenarios using trained actors as simulated patients. Debriefing models are employed to assist participants to learn positively and constructively from the experience.
