2 hours CPD. 

$40 credit. 

There are three modules in this course.

• Module 1 covers the various types, presentations, and components of bipolar disease, and the assessment required for diagnosis in adults.
• Module 2 covers the management of bipolar disorders in adults.
• This module (3) discusses the characteristics of the pharmacological treatment used in bipolar disorders in adults. It is not designed to take the place of expert knowledge or the use of a medicines handbook for prescribing (medication choice and dose). It aims to help nurses understand the medications better and support patients in their use.

Key learning outcomes

At the end of this module, participants will be able to:

1. list medication types commonly used to treat bipolar disorders
2. recognise important side effects of medications used to treat bipolar disorders
3. explain important factors that patients should know about the medications they are taking for the treatment of bipolar disorders.
