Early intervention in psychosis
The evidence base for Early Intervention in Psychosis is one of the strongest that exists in mental health; with evidence that reducing the duration of untreated psychosis can significantly improve outcomes.
This module provides an overview of the key ingredients to delivering effective Early intervention, for those experiencing a first episode of psychosis, and their families.

Cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTP)
CBTp is recommended for people at risk of psychosis, during first and subsequent episodes, and for those with persistent symptoms. NES has regularly provided CBTP training delivered by experts in the field.
In order to ensure the training can continue to be delivered in a regular and sustainable way and ensure CBTP is embedded in practice across Scotland, we are currently developing a CBT Psychosis Learning Programme. This learning programme will take suitably qualified staff through elearning modules, followed by interactive training workshops and subsequent coaching supervision support.
If this is an opportunity you are interested in, please speak with your local board Psychological Therapies Training Coordinator, as they will be sent details of how to access this training opportunity when available later this year. Or please contact Catriona.Kent@nhs.scot for more information.
