Mental Health Awareness Module for Nurses

The Department of Health have mandated Health Education England (HEE) to develop bespoke e-learning mental health learning resources for the Primary Care workforce. HEE has developed a set of four 20 to 30 minute e-learning sessions. The sessions presume very little prior knowledge of psychiatry and are designed to be accessed by GPs, Primary Care Nurses and other Primary Care based health professionals. 

The content and structure of the sessions was designed in collaboration with the RCGP; based upon the identified learning needs of their members. The session topics include Self-Harm, Psychological Therapies, Physical Health Care for Mental Health Patients and Medically Unexplained symptoms. 

All content is fully referenced and the learner is signposted to additional detailed learning resources for more advanced learning.

eIntegrity programmes are developed by NHS Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare programme (HEE e-LfH). 

The programmes are high quality self-directed learning programmes.  They are designed to support training and CPD and are excellent resources alongside other traditional teaching methodologies.  They have been developed by the UK NHS for use in the NHS.  However, many of the programmes have international relevance, particularly the specialty training programmes which are often mapped to UK specialty training curricula.
