NMHS33800 Therapeutic Interventions 2

Academic Year 2023/2024

This module builds upon NMHS 30620 Therapeutic Interventions 1 and facilitates students to deepen and consolidate the knowledge, skills and competencies required to work therapeutically with service users, children and young people, adults and older adults, across multiple care and practice locations. The module addresses the theoretical underpinnings of biopsychosocial evidenced based intervention approaches utilised in mental health nursing and explores how these can be used in an integrated way to plan a care pathway. Students are facilitated to explore debate and defence of potentially difficult or challenging clinical discussions and advocated for instituting approaches which best match the care needs of the service user, young person and their family.
