As a result of the Mental Health Act 2007, the role of the Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) has replaced that of Approved Social Worker (ASW) and the General Social Care Council now requires AMHP training at masters level.
The new role of AMHP is open to nurses, occupational therapists and chartered psychologists, provided they are registered and have undergone thorough training.
This masters programme is awarded by Kingston University and is delivered in partnership with St George's, University of London by the Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences.
