Good mental health is as important as good physical health; however, one in four people will experience mental ill health at some point in their lives. Working with people, their relatives, and their carers at the most challenging and vulnerable times, mental health nurses use their communication, interpersonal, and therapeutic skills to build trusting, positive, and person-centered relationships.
In this course, you’ll develop the knowledge and skills to deliver compassionate and culturally informed mental health care in a diverse range of settings, including hospitals, people’s homes, schools, the community, and secure services, working in partnership with other professionals to positively influence the mental health outcomes of the people you care for.
You’ll build your knowledge and skills in therapeutic interventions and the pharmacological management of disease, including safe medication administration.
You’ll learn and practice your clinical skills in a safe and controlled environment through teaching sessions in dedicated facilities, including clinical suites and replicated community settings, supported by digital health technologies.
