Why?
- To support an integrated mental health and care approach through training and learning
- To empower educators and support workforce developement
- To position mental health at the centre of health care
Who is it for:
Our guiding principle is that medical student learning should be aligned with the learning of those whom they will work with. We therefore deliberately target a wide audience of learners, including health, social care and voluntary sector workers. The increasing emphasis on people being supported to manage their own conditions means that patient and carer learning must be faciliated.
Consequently this resource will be relevant to a wide range of organisations including providers of health and social care as well as higher education institutions.
Integration
Vivid will have both breadth and depth covering the major core topics and delivering these to learners who may have no clinical background but an interest in mental health care, to clinicians and health care professionals in training. Each 20min module has a range of core objectives broken down into components that are visual, interactive and adaptive to desktop or mobile devices.
Educators can create specific courses by packaging up the modules and components for target learner groups. These can be used in a variety of ways to meet workforce development targets for a range of health care organisations.
What
- Horizontal levels to support theme-based learning
- Vertical levels to build knowledge
- Realistic community characters and their stories linking the modules
- Short 20 minute modules
How
- Community based design
- Responsive design
- Longitudinal storytelling
Vivid Psychiatry will provide a holistic and patent centred learning opportunity. This will be achieved by integrated and contextualised learning of basic clinical sciences, illustrated in social and health care settings (patients and health professionals’ journeys). A community-based design approach, using characters from Southampton Road Community, will deliver realistic, humanising, dynamic, emotional learning. These characters stories and their relationships with family or carers will engage learners emotionally, illustrating the contributions that different professionals and carers make to the patient care pathway.
Vivid Psychiatry promotes mental and physical well-being through realistic, dynamic and emotionally engaging education.
The way forward

- The most effective governance arrangements?
- What would make it worthwhile to subscribe to members-only content?
- Where would be the right barrier level to the members only area?
- What would make you interested in contributing material to Vivid?
