Mental Health Tier 2 Training Sessions

The session will cover the Trust’s Tier 2 Mental Health training package and will be delivered by the Trust’s Clinical Compliance/Educator for Mental Health. They will look at signs and symptoms of common mental disorders, along with how to provide care and support for patients with mental health care needs. It will also give staff a brief overview of the Mental Health Act and how it applies to patients within an acute hospital setting.
Mental Health Awareness
The Mental Health Awareness e-learning package is aimed at all staff that have any contact with patients, and any other staff that are interested in learning more about mental health and mental illness. It will give staff a basic awareness of mental health and mental illness and how this can affect the patients in our care.
The e-learning package has been produced by Health Education England as part of their suite of learning for healthcare staff. This package aims to give staff an understanding into mental health and why it is important to have an awareness of mental health and illness when caring for patients in an acute hospital.
