Programa

Ethics, Values & Perspectives in Mental Health: Approved mental health professionals bring knowledge, skills and values to their role. In this unit you´ll consider models of mental distress and approaches to care and treatment for people who use mental health services. This will help you identify elements of socially inclusive practice.
Mental Health & the Law: Mental health professionals play a key role in the care and protection of people with mental disorders, and have responsibilities under mental health legislation. You´ll examine and apply the laws, codes and social welfare legislation surrounding the field in the context of professionally ethical practice.
AMHP Role in Practice: The role of mental health professionals includes preventing the need for admission to care which currently takes place in the context of mental health policy initiatives. You´ll consider the impact of social policy on current and potential service users and carers, and on professional practice across mental health disciplines.
Evidencing Professional Learning (Practice Assessment): A feature of professional practice is developing and showing occupational competencies and needs. This unit offers a flexible work-based approach for you to show your competencies and standards that meet the needs of professional and statutory regulatory authorities.
Evidencing Professional Practice & Decision-making: During this unit, you´ll evaluate complex decision-making and professional judgement, and apply your knowledge and skills to solve problems in the unpredictable professional context.
Preparing for your Service Improvement Project: A Service Improvement Project (SIP) aims to better a service or services. You´ll learn about an appropriate, systematic and justified methodology in a complex professional area to design an original, intellectually challenging and in-depth SIP action plan for your professional context.
Service Improvement Project: You´ll show your autonomous and independent ability in a complex professional context to expand or redefine existing knowledge or develop new approaches to service improvement, and then evaluate your SIP´s impact. Throughout the unit you´ll be supported by a university tutor via phone calls, emails and face-to-face meetings. Your tutor will direct you towards helpful resources. This may include electronic resources, workshops, seminars and master classes.
