<p>Hi, just to let you all know that following an overwhelming response to my plea for help 20 of you responded with some wonderful offers of assistance. I think I now have enough interest to work with and once I have been able to confirm the going rate etc will then circulate the application process to all who have responded. I can't thank everyone enough for coming to my aid and for those not able to respond I would just say that having the MH in HE Hub there is clearly of real value and long…</p>

<p>Hi, as senior lecturer for the MA Mental Health & Wellbeing at London Metropolitan University I am currently looking for anyone within reach of London who might like an opportunity to assist me with some teaching and seminar support for an Undergraduate module I convene titled 'Understanding Mental Health', it is a 15 credit UG elective module and currently attracts a lot of interest and as such am looking for someone who might like to apply as an Hourly Paid Lecturer for some regular part time work across the autumn semester (Sept 30th- May). It will mean being available one afternoon a week from 2-5pm and largely be about running a seminar group, though if interested there are also opportunities to lecture if interested. Briefly the module takes a life span approach to mental health and illness and introduces students to what is mental health and illness and what is depression, anxiety, schizophrenia etc etc. Students are asked to create a fictional case study in which to illustrate their understanding of the lived experiences of a specific mental illness. So the weekly seminar sessions aside from ensuring they have understood the key lecture it is also to help students to build towards the final assessment. Anyway if this initially, sounds interesting then do get in touch with me- s.brewer@londonmet.ac.uk.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Hi Jill </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Hope things are good with you. I am doing some work with Jim Dooher and the Patients Advisors at DMU. We are helping to produce the user/carer module for year three of the new nursing course. One of the things we want to do is produce some filmed fictitous interviews between users and nurses, We are looking for some guidance on this from other people who may have done something similar. I thought that in your work you may have come across places that could offer us help. Jim will also probably write to you but I just wanted to say hello and offer best wishes/Cheers.Colin </font></p>

<p>Hi Colin</p>
<p>Good to hear from you. The person who sprang to mind was Tarsem Singh-Cooner at CEIMH in Birmingham, whom I'm sure you are already in touch with. Their videos are very widely used and seem closest to what you are thinking of: <a href="https://exchange.lancs.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=IVxk96_4Y0yGA6AyvrTe1PPx3nPO4M8Iloko2TTrTv1maJDjzKSXhgGoPRq8dCGvzui8jQcNTBg.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.birmingham.ac.uk%2fresearch%2factivity%2fsocial-policy%2fceimh%2ffilm-resources%2fmental-health-practice-case-studies.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/activity/social-policy/ceimh/film-resources/mental-health-practice-case-studies.aspx</a></p>
<p>But are you thinking that it would be service users themselves, rather than people acting in that role, who would play the part of service users? It might be worth talking to Jools Symons in Leeds. They have been training service users to act as simulated patients (though am not sure if they have been filming them). <a href="https://exchange.lancs.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=IVxk96_4Y0yGA6AyvrTe1PPx3nPO4M8Iloko2TTrTv1maJDjzKSXhgGoPRq8dCGvzui8jQcNTBg.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.leeds.ac.uk%2fmedicine%2fcontacts%2fprofiles%2fj_symons.html" target="_blank">http://www.leeds.ac.uk/medicine/contacts/profiles/j_symons.html</a></p>

<p>Because of a lack of experience in Belgium, always ready to take some good advice. Soon we are starting with consulting and informing a group of 10 chosen representative inpatients about new issues in mental health service and the implementation of them in our psychiatric hospital because we are interested in their opinions and ideas. </p>
<p>Any good practice or experience? Where should we think about?</p>
