Public Mental Health Leadership Certification Course
This is a new type of hybrid eLearning and webinar course currently in development at RCPsych, due to launch in spring.
Developed with key stakeholders from the Public Mental Health Implementation Centre (PMHIC) Advisory Board, with an overarching Expert Reference Group (ERG) advising on content and structure including experts by lived experience, this Public Mental Health Leadership Course aligns with and shares the values of the NHS Long Term Plan, RCPsych’s position and the new psychiatrists’ curricula regarding the importance of public mental health.
This certification course is designed for both UK-based and international psychiatrists, members of the public mental health workforce, as well as the public mental health workforce including clinicians, allied health professionals, community-based organisations and policy makers, all of whom should find the course useful to help align their knowledge and skills in the mental health arena.
The course aims to:
- enhance the knowledge and skills of public mental health among psychiatrists and the wider clinical workforce
- generate and empower local champions of public mental health and provide further insights for professional work
- develop a culture change from an individualised model of clinical psychiatry to a population-based, preventative public mental health approach
- train the next generation of multidisciplinary leaders in public mental health by providing them with the tools and expertise to advocate for public mental health.
The interactive course provides comprehensive exploration for long-term implementation in your local area and offers six new eLearning modules, free access to a curated suite of existing RCPsych CPD eLearning resources on related topics, a webinar and live Q&A session with an expert faculty.
Candidates will be awarded the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Certificate of Public Mental Health Leadership on successful completion of all parts of the course.
