Over the past 15 months, Maudsley Learning’s ‘National Programmes Team’, and now ‘Service Delivery Team’, have managed 6 training programmes across all English NHS providers with the aim of raising mental health awareness and increasing clinical competency across conditions such as eating disorders, autism, psychosis and general mental health.

During the first year, we developed and delivered training to over 1,300 trainees of differing workforce and clinical backgrounds and will deliver training to more than 2,500 trainees during a 4-year contracted period. Inevitably, and over the coming months and months, this figure will increase considerably.

The attached tables give us a feel for the ‘make up’ of our 112 programmes.

As you will see, the vast majority are tailored for adult training with a handful directly targeting CYP and CYP & Adult or transition.

32% of our programmes are ‘medium-sized masterclass programmes which deliver to about 40 trainees per session and 34% are simulation orientated, delivering to about 12 trainees per session.

Our ‘national’ and ‘blended’ programmes are much larger as far as trainee numbers are concerned (see my previous table) and make up about 30% of our programmes.

The remaining programmes are specialist and relate to areas of expertise delivered by Maudsley Learning’s individual workstreams.
