Course summary
Who should attend the course?
The PG Cert Applied Mental Health Practice Programme is a dynamic and well-regarded course which has been designed to enable suitably qualified and experienced practitioners to demonstrate that they are competent to undertake the statutory role of the Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP).
This course ensures that candidates are trained and assessed to the highest of standards, through strong partnerships with a range of key stakeholders including AMHPs, AMHP trainees, Trust and Local Authority representatives and people with lived experience. Local Authorities are centrally involved in the course design, delivery and management in order to ensure that their responsibilities under legislation are addressed and the training course remains fit-for-purpose.
Course aims:
This course aims to enable suitably qualified and experienced practitioners to demonstrate that they are competent to undertake the statutory role of the AMHP under the Mental Health 1983 (MHA), and to do so in a safe and effective way.
It aims to ensure that practitioners meet the regulatory criteria set out in Section 2 of the Social Work England鈥檚 (SWE鈥檚) Education and Training 鈥� Approved Mental Health Professionals Guidance, which sets out the approval criteria for AMHP courses, ensuring that professionals meet the key areas of competence within Schedule 2 of the MHA Regulations 2008.
Assessments:
A range of assessments are used, including coursework assignments/ assessments, open book testing as well as a portfolio of practice evidence and the sufficient demonstration of competencies as required by the regulatory body.
Where is the course taught and by whom?
There will be some online sessions but most sessions will be taught face-to-face in Hatfield, usually at College Lane campus or another Hatfield campus. It is noted that a hybrid model is offered, meaning that students will have the option to join most face-to-face sessions online. Depending on Covid, it may sometimes be necessary to teach all or part of the sessions online.
UH staff, John Paul Anastasiadis and Clare Landy, who are both practicing AMHPs and the module leads for the AMHP programme, facilitate most of the taught sessions. Other university and visiting speakers are involved in course delivery including service users and carers, AMHPs, mental health solicitor, psychiatrists and other professionals with specialist knowledge and experience relevant to the AMHP role.
