Recent modules and podcasts

Module Advance statements and the law in Scotland

One of the principles of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 is that of participation – service users should be fully involved in their assessment, care and treatment, and their past and present wishes should be taken into account. This module will review the use of advance statements under the 2003 Act, give guidance on what should and should not be included, and provide some comparison with advance statements or advance directives in other legislatures. CPD credits: 1

Podcast Where there is no psychiatrist: mental healthcare in Ethiopia

In this podcast, Dr Raj Persaud talks to Ethiopia-based Dr Charlotte Hanlon about how low-income countries cope with delivering mental health services. She discusses how primary healthcare workers are trained to deliver treatment, and considers the links between mental illness and poverty. CPD credits: 0.5

Module Assessment and reporting of suspected malingering in mental disorders

Although malingering of mental disorder may be encountered only occasionally in clinical practice, it calls for particular consideration in the medico-legal setting.
