One in five people will experience some form of mental illness in a given year. It is therefore crucial that all nurses working in a general hospital setting are familiar with the different types of mental illnesses in order to provide optimum patient care and coordinate with members of the mental health team. This incisive and accessible programme introduces schizophrenia and mood disorders, including depression and mania/hypomania, providing viewers with diagnostic criteria and a detailed understanding of how a patient may present when suffering from a mental illness. The programme concludes with nursing interventions and traditional treatment protocols, including assessment and medication.

Food Allergies and Intolerances
What is the difference between food allergy and food intolerance? This Australian-made, curriculum-fit program answers this question and more using engaging dramatised scenarios and expert commentary from Dr. Andreas Lopata, Associate Professor of Food Sciences at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. We discover that up to 2% of the population have a food allergy and learn how to respond to a food reaction – including when and how to administer an EpiPen. We also learn how to identify food allergies and intolerances and how the food production and hospitality industries are responding to the increasing incidence of food reactions.
