Primary care
If you’re a nurse in a primary care setting, mental health training ensures you can appropriately help people with mental health problems. Afterwards, you’ll be better equipped to provide more tailored support for these patients, so you can care for their overall wellbeing.
Perhaps you’re looking to specialise in a mental health role in the future, or you just want to upskill yourself as part of your CPD. These courses are ideal for nurses working in GP practices or any other primary care setting, and are mostly designed for nurses working with adults.
Secondary care
In secondary care settings like hospitals, mental health problems are common. However, not all nurses are equipped to deal with this or, even if they are, may not feel confident in doing so. That’s why mental health training is so beneficial. It’ll equip you with the skills and knowledge to deal with these patients effectively and boost your confidence.
You can book onto our secondary care courses individually, or get in touch to discuss group sessions and bespoke courses.
