SAMAGH GP Training - supporting self-harm patients
SAMAGH training has been tailored to primary care in order to ensure it is relevant to general practitioners in Ireland, who are supporting self-harm patients.
A unique element of SAMAGH is in-depth simulation skills training with a focus on enhancing the patient relationship and management of patients with high-risk self-harm and patients with frequent self-harm repetition.
To find out more, please read our SAMAGH Information Leaflet.
SAMAGH consists of two training components. The first part is an E-Learning programme, whereby through 8 comprehensive modules, participants will extend their knowledge of self-harm and suicide, focusing on enhanced assessment and referral to evidence-based treatments for self-harm patients.
The second part of the programme involves a one-day face to face simulation training course, using real-life patient scenarios and feedback sessions facilitated by experienced clinicians.
Join us in UCC on 20th January in the ASSERT Centre for our next simulation training course.
