About us
We are a College service, currently in our fourth year
of operation, providing a high quality range of education and
training opportunities for psychiatrists and mental health care
professionals.
Our offices are in London and Leeds. As we continue to
grow, we will continue to offer a wider range of events throughout
the UK and Ireland and, where possible in collaboration with the
College’s faculties, divisions and special interest groups.
We are currently offering many of our course on-site so you and your team don’t have to
incur additional travel and accommodation costs and have too much
time away from your workplace. For further information please
contact Emma George on
020 7977 6654.
The Changing Health Care
Agenda
Our provision is being shaped to meet the future needs of all
mental health and social care professionals, their services and
importantly, the needs of patients, service users and carers.
Linked to the College Research Unit, we can focus our events on the
most up to date issues and development areas, which are influencing
mental health both today and in future years.
Client
Focused
Our service prides itself on being entirely client – focussed,
proactive and flexible. We constantly strive to keep the
needs of our clients at the very heart of its curriculum
development and to offer a provision of excellent learning
opportunities underpinned by high levels of customer service and
event management. All our training and development events are
carefully planned and fully evaluated to ensure client satisfaction
and continuous improvement.
Expertise and
Collaboration
We work with a range of expertise, collaborating with other
organisations to ensure that its provision is enhanced by a breadth
of knowledge and experience derived from other professionals who
share the same values, aspirations and goals. By working in
partnership with others, the Centre can build on best practice and
harness the potential of the future. Examples of partners include
the NHS, NIMHE, NICE, Social Services, Universities, Colleges and
other educational providers within the private and voluntary
sectors of health and social care.
Working with Service
Users and Carers
We also value and encourage the important contribution that
patients, service users and carers can provide in helping raise
standards by understanding and responding better to their
needs.
