Dual Diagnosis - ESC Advanced Module
Ten Essential Shared Capabilities Advanced Module: Combined Mental Health and Substance Use Problems (Dual Diagnosis)
Background to the development of this learning pack:
This advanced module for Dual Diagnosis makes an explicit link to the Ten Essential Shared Capabilities and incorporates these capabilities into the competency framework (Closing the Gap, CCAWI 2006). The Ten Essential Shared Capabilities (ESC) lay out the core practice standards that all mental health practitioners (regardless of role) are expected to achieve. These capabilities were developed through a major consultation exercise with Service Users and carers and led by the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health. The ESC are deliberately focused on the expectations of Service User and Carers when considering the type of care they would like to receive. We believe the ESC also describe the expectations of mental health practitioners on the standards of care they aspire to deliver. Therefore the ESC have the potential to set a common and consistent foundation on which to develop high quality Service User and carer centred mental health.
Welcome to the training resource.
This is divided into four main folders: • Manual and module documents: the trainee manual, and separate documents related to each module. The manual can be printed off in its entirety for courses which cover all the topics, or individual modules can be printed off for shorter courses. These act as trainee handouts, and also as background for the trainer. • Powerpoint slides: Each module has accompanying set of slides for the delivery of training. • Trainers resources: This includes trainers guidance; role-plays and exercises; programme outlines; and templates (such as evaluation forms and certificates) • Additional Reading: additional short reading material for trainees if relevant for the training.
Prior to accessing these materials we would ask you to complete the following brief registration form:
