Welcome to the module “Physical Health in Mental health Care”, which can be either used as a core or option module in your degree pathway or taken as a standalone module.  This module is worth 15 credits at level 4, 5 or 6.  The module is designed to develop pre-existing knowledge and skills related to the recognition and assessment of people’s physical health needs, within a variety of settings and within differing mental health conditions. The intention of the module is to focus on moving this knowledge and these skills to the point where you will be able to consider and incorporate physical health as part of your everyday role. To achieve this, the sessions are focused on identifying characteristics of risk, we look at communication strategies and how these can help you engage with physical health in your own work setting. We revisit fundamental skills, including baseline observations and using the SBARD communication structure, to identify and communicate our findings. We look at  health promotion approaches and align these to different physical health concerns.
