Enhancing capability for working with personality disorder
Our post-qualifying framework (PQF) allows health and social care practitioners to continue their professional development and achieve further qualifications in their field.
Course overview
Personality Disorder and “complex cases” have come increasingly to the fore in mental health practice in recent years. This has been reflected in numerous national publications and guidance starting with “No longer a diagnosis of exclusion” in 2003 and continuing with practice guidelines issued by NICE recently for specific interventions and service provision models. Practice in the field has also developed with the introduction of improved assessment methods, specialist units and bio-psychosocial and talking therapies adapted to the needs of this client group. Resultingly, there is a broader research base being established that can enhance the practice of individuals and teams.
