- The search and stratification tool guidance
- The physical health check
- Intensive Support for Behaviour change
- The mental health review
- Peer support
- My Health Plan
- UCLP-Primrose information booklet for patients
UCLP-Primrose video playlist
Once you have familiarised yourself with the manuals that are relevant to you we recommend that you review the UCLP-Primrose video playlist.
These videos cover different parts of the pathway. Again, we suggest you watch those videos related to the parts of the pathway most relevant to you, or where you have a knowledge gap. Some of the videos are quite brief, whilst others are longer and include exercises to support your learning.
We strongly recommend that you take the time to complete these exercises where relevant.
