Overview

This one-day training aims to explore an individual approach in achieving concordance with a person experiencing mental health problems and to look at the key concerns and attitudes towards their illness, treatment in general and their self-management skills. It is also for you to reflect and consider your own experience, about your adherence to treatment. The training will be of interest to anyone with a special interest in medication management, students on any health programmes, community-based practitioners, mental health professionals working in inpatient and community setting with service users.

Course content

Effective use of medicines is an important part of self-management of chronic conditions. However, many people do not take their medicines. It is estimated that only half of people with chronic conditions adhere to their long-term medications and only a third follow general lifestyle recommendation.

By the end of the session, participants should be able to:

1. Describe what the concordance approach entails and what adherence to treatment can be affected by in general
2. Identify evidenced based strategies and use self-management tools to prevent relapse and promote recovery in users of mental health services
3. Describe and understand your role in promoting concordance in your area of work to improve patient outcomes
