This module will build on your knowledge and understanding in relation to person/family centred care delivery. You will engage in scenario-based learning to support your development of holistic assessment skills in relation to health and well-being. You will examine the results of patient assessments and following review of the evidence base, including clinical guidelines, you will prioritise and plan delivery of care using both pharmacological and non-pharmacological nursing interventions in relation to mental health nursing practice. You will consider the impact of altered health on individuals and explore the importance of communicating with individuals / families and / or carers to develop a shared understanding of prescribed treatments.
