Organisation: Barts Centre for Psychiatry
Funding:£99,331
Led by a group of mental health clinicians and educators who already specialise in producing materials to teach clinical skills, this project will engage users of the mental health system in the creation of a series of communication skills workshops and an online interactive learning resource for use in medical and nursing curricula throughout the UK.
Its aim is to identify the barriers to effective communication between service providers and users that result from stereotypes and stigmatising around issues of gender, sexuality, faith and culture. The learning tools will be designed to help students reflect upon and process their feelings towards particular patients and problems, under guidance from teachers, before being placed in real life situations.
