“…This supported earlier research that suggested the act of providing education to medical students resulted in consumer empowerment, increased self-esteem, development of new insights, and an improved understanding of the doctorpatient relationship. 46 The formation of an educational partnership, therefore, may have ongoing benefits for both groups. Although the results of this qualitative research cannot be generalized to all groups of consumers, pharmacists, and pharmacy students, this case study suggests that utilizing consumer educators in pharmacy education is a promising area for future research.…”

Objective. To design and implement an interactive education program to improve the skill and confidence of community pharmacists in providing pharmaceutical services to people with mental illnesses. Design. A literature review was conducted and key stakeholders were consulted to design a partnership that involved community pharmacists and consumer educators. The partnership was designed so that all participants shared equal status. This facilitated mutual recognition of each others' skills. Assessment. Four 2-hour training sessions were conducted over a 2-week period in March 2005. Seven pharmacists, 5 consumer educators, and 1 caregiver educator participated in the partnership. Pharmacists indicated that their participation caused them to reflect on their own medication counseling techniques. Consumer educators reported that speaking about their experiences aided their recovery. Conclusion. Developing a better understanding and improved communication between community pharmacists and people with mental illnesses is an important aspect of facilitating a concordant approach to patient counseling. Implementing mental health education programs utilizing consumer educators in pharmacy schools is a promising area for further research.

“…It also keeps tutors in touch with current issues relating to mental health service delivery, which is very relevant given the findings of the report by Owen et al (2005) in relation to the clinical activity of lecturers. For the service users and carers who take on these training roles, benefits that have been described include the development of a more balanced doctor-patient relationship, a better appreciation of professional perspectives (Walters et al, 2003) and the enhancement of recovery linked with improved selfesteem because of having a training role that is valued (Masters et al, 2002).…”

Involving carers and service users in the training of psychiatrists

2005

In June 2005 it became mandatory for psychiatric trainees to receive training directly from people who experience mental health problems and their carers. This will be checked on approval visits to all training schemes, and accreditation may be withheld until this aspect of training is in place. For many of those who are responsible for training, this may be a new undertaking. We outline some of the issues that trainers need to consider when involving service users and carers in their training programmes, including background issues, how to prepare both those delivering and those receiving training, and logistical considerations. It is hoped that this paper will alert trainers to issues that need to be considered if such training is to be successful.

“…There were also some negative impacts reported from both the Gecht (2000) and Walters et al (2003) studies. Gecht (2000) found that service users with chronic progressive conditions had an increased awareness of the progression of their disease and its impact on their lives.…”

“…Stacey and Spencer (1999) reported that patients involved in training felt that they had learnt more about themselves and that it had helped them to talk about their illness. Similarly, Walters et al (2003) found that patients reported another positive outcome for them was the development of a coherent illness narrative.…”

The focus of this paper is the impact on patients and parents of being involved in training events for health professionals. A review of the literature is presented and reveals that most studies have previously focused on the impact for the audience of patient and carer involvement in training. Following this review the authors report on an adolescent eating disorders service that involves patients and their parents in a number of training events and feedback obtained about the impact of involvement on these participants. The feedback was generally positive, both for patients and parents, and a number of themes were highlighted. The paper ends with some questions that may stimulate further investigation in this area.
