Description
Summary:About 45% of foundation doctors in the UK now have a placement in psychiatry. However, the current UK Foundation Programme Curriculum states that all foundation doctors need to demonstrate basic mental health-related capabilities. To address this we developed a novel teaching approach to cover these new capabilities using principles of team-based learning (TBL). This can be delivered to all foundation doctors both face to face and online using case scenarios and in no more than 4 hours over the 2-year foundation programme. The approach can be easily be replicated, but collaboration between mental health and acute trusts is essential for delivery.
