This refresher course is only for those that attended the 2-day Adult Mental Health First Aid course.  

In order to remain a Queen Mary MHFAider you must complete the MHFA England Refresher course every three years. This will provide you with additional support and benefits for three years from the date of your refresher (access to the MHFAider support app and access to ongoing learning opportunities, resources and exclusive events).

Those who received their training before February 2020 and would like to remain a MHFAider, should now complete their refresher training.

Please note, there is a small fee of £20 per person associated with the cost of the training materials, which will be payable upon booking via internal transfer, using your departmental budget code. Please ensure you have received your budget holder’s permission.
