Are you an experienced mental health practitioner, a deputy clinical manager, PgCert API Alumni, or an Advanced Nurse Practitioner with a desire to increase access to Level 1 formulation for service users? If so, this one-day ‘Train the Trainer’ workshop will provide you with all the skills and training resources you need to deliver face-to-face formulation training within your team.

By adopting a ‘train the trainer’ model, we can harness the existing skills in our workforce and strengthen that knowledge base, increasing access to Level 1 formulation for service users.

The workshop is delivered online by Julie Owen, a mental health nurse and consultant psychotherapist working within the Trust. Participants must have the support of their line manager to attend and to lead training roll-out within their team.
