International Diploma in Older Adults’ Mental Health: apply now for 2025/26 cohort

We are delighted to announce that applications are now open for the second cohort of the College's International Diploma in Older Adults’ Mental Health.

This knowledge enhancement programme is designed for doctors outside the UK wishing to upskill or refresh their understanding of how the most common mental disorders in older adults present and are managed.

The programme will allow learners to broaden their understanding of the clinical and service-related complexities of working within older adults' mental health. In addition, learners can contribute to, and benefit from, a growing international community of practice for psychiatry of older people, sharing the skills and knowledge to develop services for older people within their own clinical practice.

We are accepting applications for the 2025/26 cohort with a proposed course start date in September 2025.
