PURPOSEEarly intervention in psychosis is becoming an integral
part of mental health services in the UK and worldwide; however,
specialist training in this area remains sparse and it can be
difficult for mental health services to recruit clinicians with the
required expertise. This course helps address this challenge by
providing world-class specialised training to mental health
professionals and non-clinical academics interested in this
area.
DESCRIPTIONThe course adopts a multidisciplinary approach,
capitalizing on the most recent findings from a range of clinical
and non-clinical disciplines including psychiatry, psychology,
genetics, neuroscience, epidemiology and biostatistics.
The course combines (i) classroom teaching from world-experts in
the field with (ii) a 2-month clinical placement in an early
intervention service for psychosis within the South London and
Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (see http://www.slam.nhs.uk).
At the end of the course, students will have acquired specialised
theoretical and practical expertise to carry out clinical work and
cutting-edge research in early intervention in psychosis, and to
establish and develop an early intervention service.
Teaching will be delivered by mental health professionals with
extensive experience in early intervention in psychosis (e.g. Dr.
Julia Lappin, Dr. Eric Morris, Dr. Eduardo Iacoponi, Dr. Majella
Byrne) and clinical academics who have published extensively on the
topic (e.g. Prof. Robin Murray, Prof. Philip McGuire, Prof. Shitij
Kapur, Dr. Paola Dazzan, Dr. Lucia Valmaggia, Dr. Paolo Fusar-Poli,
Dr. Matthew Taylor, Dr. Andrea Mechelli).
