Psychiatry updates for physicians: This workshop provides a practical approach to building confidence in handling mental health issues in patients, in both hospital inpatient and outpatient settings.
Date: 16 June 2020
The workshop will identify opportunities to ensure better outcomes and highlight what differences can be made within these settings. It will be very different to mandatory training, instead using case-based approaches and small group work to increase interaction.
Theoretical areas covered will include the way in which mental health interacts with other conditions in the hospital setting, eg COPD and anxiety. The day will also look at applying the theory to everyday practice, for example:
– How you manage your patients with diabetes and depression
– How you manage your AMU frequent attenders – what else is possible with frequently encountered mental health issues
Delivery information:
The programme will be jointly delivered by Dr Sean Cross and Dr Emma Vaux.
