Exciting to follow progress by the INforMHAA project team as they film scenarios from their NIHR School for Social Care Research project. Based on case studies drawn from the project, these filmed scenarios will be used to develop training materials for AMHPs & interpreters.

It was a good day; working with a great team

The training developed through the project will be essential both for initial AMHP and interpreter training as well as for joint CPD giving AMHPs and Interpreters the opportunity to discuss challenges as well as solutions for working together

So much happening with our INforMHAA project at the moment! We recently finished filming for scenarios critical for the next stage of our project. Look out soon for a v/blogpost giving a project progress update & the launch of our bilingual website!
