There has been a drive towards addressing the types of care and therapeutic interventions
available to people with serious mental illness, which is reflected in the latest government
mental health policy initiatives. Recent evidence strongly supports the implementation of
psychological and social interventions for people with psychosis, and in particular the use
of cognitive behavioural techniques. Until now, the main focus has been on people living in
the community. This study examines the delivery of psychosocial interventions training to
qualified psychiatric nurses and unqualified staff on seven acute psychiatric admission
wards in London, UK. The approach had the strength of on-site delivery, follow-up role
modelling of the interventions and clinical supervision. Despite this, in some cases the training
was less successful, mainly because of staffing and leadership weaknesses. The impact of
training in these methods and the implications for mental health education and practice
development are discussed.
