The mental health field of practice modules will be further informed by critical engagement with current mental health agendas and developments. As you will learn whilst gaining hands-on experience you will be able to put your studies into practice immediately. You will see how your skills translate into the workplace, benefitting the service users, their families and your colleagues.
