Our Sections

Learning & Teaching Committee

The Learning and Teaching Section offers multi-professional, postgraduate education designed to enhance graduates' capability to lead and deliver services that promote mental health, well being and social inclusion, enable people to recover from mental distress, and ensure that mental health professionals remain fit for practice.

The division works in partnership with stakeholders from East Midlands Strategic Health Authority, Multi-Professional Deanery, Mental Health Development Centre, service user groups and carers in the design, delivery and evaluation of all education provision.

The section attracts local, national and international students. We develop courses to meet specific needs of the evolving mental health workforce, and to respond to major changes in the mental health agenda. This provision is also available to clinicians for Continuing Professional Development. The teaching enterprise links closely with the research programme to create a section which reflects the broad range of disciplines relevant to mental health. In this way the section helps to produce a skilled professional workforce as well as contributing to the knowledge base underpinning mental health practice. A Teaching and Learning Committee, chaired by the section Head, provides a steer to the section, approves a strategic plan and monitors its performance. The section Head reports on its performance to the Institute of Mental Health Leadership Team.
