Delivered by:  

NHS Education for Scotland (NES)

Aims and Objectives:

Learning Bytes are a series of 5 short learning modules exploring the following:

  • Learning Byte 1: Promoting Mental Health and Tackling Inequalities
  • Learning Byte 2: Supporting People in Distress and Crisis
  • Learning Byte 3: Supporting People at Risk of Suicide
  • Learning Byte 4: Supporting People at Risk of Self-Harm
  • Learning Byte 5: Supporting Recovery and Quality of Life for People Living with Mental Ill Health

Each learning byte focuses on a different topic but they are all connected. They can be completed in any order.

Audience: 

The ‘Skilled Level’ describes the knowledge and skills required by ‘non-specialist’ front line staff working in health, social care, wider public and other services. These workers are likely to have direct and/or substantial contact with people who may be at risk of mental ill health, self-harm or suicide, meaning that they have an important contribution to make in mental health improvement and self-harm and suicide prevention. 

If you have not already done so, its recommended that you complete the Informed Level Resources before accessing the skilled level.
