Do you want to become a peer reviewer?
As a peer reviewer you will visit other community mental health services. This provides an excellent opportunity to learn from other services, share good practice, contribute to the peer review process and network with colleagues.
More information about the benefits of being a peer reviewer can be found on this poster.
Training is open to all staff working in ACOMHS member services. This includes consultants and specialist registrars (SpR), registered mental health nurses and nurses in training, service managers and matrons, support workers and wider MDT. This is an excellent opportunity for professional development, to contribute to the peer review process and to facilitate networking and the sharing of best practice.
Training takes place via Microsoft Teams and will be facilitated by a member of the ACOMHS project team. To join the next training session, please complete the booking form.
