Overview
Key Features
The prevalence of psychiatric illness means that it is highly likely that the first presentation and follow up of those suffering from these conditions will be assessed and managed in general practice or by non-psychiatrists in primary or secondary care.
This online postgraduate diploma in clinical psychiatry will improve your knowledge, skills and confidence enabling you to improve the clinical outcomes for your patients presenting with psychiatric disorders.
Due to the nature of psychiatric illness (which may often be present/comorbid with other conditions and/or affect the way people behave in a variety of situations), improved knowledge of psychiatry gained from our online psychiatry diploma will benefit healthcare professionals working in fields supplementary to psychiatry and those likely to come into contact with psychiatric illness on a regular basis.
Healthcare professionals on the front line, including primary care and specialist units, need to be equipped to deal with mental health patients confidently and effectively.
On completion of this Clinical Psychiatry (Online) Postgraduate Diploma from Diploma MSc you'll be up to date with new classifications, treatments, and assessments that integrate psychological and social sciences, demonstrate how the field links to others (such as acute medicine, surgery, perinatal services, children’s services and primary care) and have an understanding of how the Capacity Acts and Mental Health Act influence delivery of services and the implications for you as a healthcare professional.
