Description
An essential guide to the emergency treatment of mental health crises
Hospital emergency departments are encountering increasing numbers of patients in mental health crises, and the number continues to rise year on year. Despite these challenges, very few practitioners are trained specifically to deal with mental health crises.
Acute Psychiatric Emergencies (APEx) meets this need with a course designed jointly by leading psychiatry and emergency medicine specialists with years of practical experience. It will help in any crisis setting, be it in the emergency department, ward, clinic, or in the community.
APEx provides a structured approach for the assessment and management of acute mental health emergencies, discusses common presentations, as well as legal frameworks and human factors. Now fully updated to reflect new guidelines and expanded treatment of key subjects, it is an invaluable resource for any practitioner involved in the provision of psychiatric care at any point in the healthcare pathway.
Readers of the second edition of Acute Psychiatric Emergencies will also find:
- Detailed discussion of topics including organic causes for behavioural disturbances, special circumstances, and more
- Updated algorithms and figures for improved accessibility
- An emphasis on close cooperation between emergency and mental health teams
APEx is ideal for emergency physicians, psychiatrists, emergency and mental health nurses, paramedics, and other crisis care professionals.
Advanced Life Support Group (ALSG) is an organisation dedicated to improving outcomes for people in life-threatening situations, anywhere along the healthcare pathway, anywhere in the world. A leading medical education charity, ALSG has delivered advanced life support training to over 225,000 clinicians in 44 countries.
