About the CPD course
The aim of this module is to equip non-psychiatry clinicians with essential knowledge and skills to diagnose and initiate mental health treatments in the elderly in a variety of healthcare settings; while seeking/waiting for specialist help. Mental health decline is prevalent in older adults because of amalgamation of many risk factors: loneliness; polypharmacy; bereavement; living longer with chronic disease. Majority of people present with physical manifestations of their mental health problems leading to delay in diagnoses and treatment. Besides the problem is so widespread amongst elderly; that even when suspected; it will take many months; if not years; to get a specialist psychiatric help.
