Personality Disorder Training
A key element of the Personality Disorder Strategy is to deliver
training with the following aims:
- to improve service users experience
- to improve attitudes/behaviour in working with personality
disorder
- Develop staff clinical skills in working with personality
disorder
Training within the Trust
To date a number of training events have been completed with
various clinical teams and units. These have ranged from short (1-2
hour) training on some key issues in PD to one day workshops
focusing on personality disorder awareness training.
We have also recently introduced the Knowledge and Understanding
Framework (KuF) 3 day training on Personality Disorder Awareness
targeted at the Personality Disorder Link Workers in each
team/clinical area. Further information about KUF training can be
found at http://www.personalitydisorder.org.uk/training/kuf.
Training to External Agencies
Members of the team have also delivered personality disorder
awareness training to a number of external agencies in both
statutory and third sector organisations. We have some limited
scope to offer this on a costed basis to local organisations.
