Mental health care in acute settings

This self-assessment helps you reflect on your confidence in supporting people with mental health needs in acute healthcare settings. It is for learning and discussion only. It does not confirm competence and does not replace formal training, supervision, observation, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. If you score 1 or 2 on any statement, treat this as a priority learning need. Review the relevant learning, follow employer policy, and speak with your manager, supervisor, safeguarding lead or designated mental health lead before carrying out related tasks independently.
