Kingston University London

Initially conceived as an idea in early 2006 the above training course has been developed in Partnership between the National Association of Psychiatric Intensive Care Units (NAPICU) South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust (SWLSTG) and Kingston University. The course is aimed at all practitioners within mental health intensive care environments. The module spans 10 days and provides 30 credits at either level 2 or 3.

The course is being developed as a web based learning programme in order that staff from many Mental Health Intensive Care environments across the country will eventually be able to access a high quality of evidenced based, current thinking about innovative and cutting edge approaches to providing Intensive care

The Division of Mental Health Studies at South Bank Univeristy, in partnership with NAPICU has worked closely with the North East London Mental Health Trust and the South London & Maudsley NHS Trust to develop this innovative programme of study for health care professionals working in PICU's and Low Secure services.

The programme aims to examine a variety of frameworks for the delivery of safe and consistent approaches to psychiatric intensive care and provide practitioners with the necessary confidence to be 'fit for practice'. It is geared for practitioners working in PICU's, LSU's and Adult Acute settings.

Students can study at Post Graduate Certificate, Diploma Level or at Masters Levels on a part time basis .
