Would you like to improve your skills for working with patients experiencing poor mental health or emotional problems?
North Essex CCGs would like to invite you to take part in training to develop your ability to meet the challenging and complex needs of patients as well as learning techniques to help protect your own mental health.
As part of the government’s efforts to achieve parity of esteem, mental health is “a matter for all health professionals, and training programmes should be developed that will enable employers to ensure that staff have an awareness of mental health problems and how they may affect their patients” (Norman Lamb, MP).
These courses, available to practice staff in north Essex areas free of charge, are relevant to GPs, practice nurses, nurse practitioners and healthcare assistants, and some will be of interest to receptionists and practice managers. Numbers are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment. Each completed course will contribute towards your CPD.
Please click on the link to your CCG training page from the menu immediately below to find details of the courses available to your practice, or for further information
please email Christine.mabb@nhs.net or telephone 01376 531011.
