The Acute Psychiatric Emergencies (APEx) course is primarily designed for clinicians in emergency medicine, psychiatry, nursing, and allied health professions who are directly involved in mental health crisis care. Paramedics will also gain valuable insights by approaching the course from a pre‑hospital perspective.

The programme is taught with combined groups from all specialties, with all benefitting from a common structured approach. Delegates will learn to manage psychiatric emergencies using the structured techniques of emergency medicine, and an essential toolkit of techniques applicable across a range of settings and levels of severity.

All will gain from shared learning in a multidisciplinary context.
