Overview
A practical course supporting
skills development, service improvement and implementation of the
NICE Guideline on Self Harm
Ambulance Services and Emergency Departments
(A&E) treat up to 170,000 people a year following self harm.
The NICE Guideline on Self Harm, published in 2004, sets standards
for care in the first 48 hours. However, staff in ambulance
services and acute medical settings receive little training on self
harm and often feel ill equipped to respond. Service users report
that understanding and positive attitudes from staff are the most
important factors in receiving quality care. This training draws on
learning from good practice initiatives and the Royal College of
Psychiatrists ‘Better Services for People who Self Harm’ Quality
Improvement Project.
Content:
- Understanding reasons for self
harm
- Cultural differences and self harm
- Consent and capacity
- Self harm in triage and psychosocial
assessment
- Joint working between ambulance,
acute and mental health services
