What it's about This postgraduate programme is designed for all individuals who have a professional or managerial involvement with older people with mental health problems. From nurses and doctors to social workers, care home staff, housing staff and police officers, and from a variety of sectors: statutory, independent and voluntary, this course will provide you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to progress on both professional and personal levels. We will provide you with the opportunity to develop multi-disciplinary, multi-agency expertise in working with older people who have mental health problems. Through a process of critical enquiry you will be encouraged to review accepted values and belief systems and to promote person-centred practice with older people. You will explore a range of current theoretical, conceptual and evidenced based gerontological perspectives and through this develop knowledge and skills that will enhance your impact and influence upon service delivery. The full programme incorporates the Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma as qualifications in their own right or as step-off points on the way to achieving the MSc.
