This article describes a method of deliberate interpersonal teaching to amalgamate the relationship between knowledge and practice in Great Britain National Health Service (NHS). The curriculum landscape for education in NHS has changed since the entry over a decade ago of NHS teachers into higher education. An imperative for change in mental health care is ever present for NHS and university teachers as the result of health and social care policy initiatives. As a newly formed department of mental health and learning disabilities in 1998, one knew from staff and students after their Project 2000 pre-registration nursing curriculum, about shortfalls in clinical skills, clinical knowledge, and shortcomings in the link lecturer role during the 1990s. The new agenda refers to the modernization of the NHS in psychiatry, e.g. emphasizing prevention and early detection in primary care with community mental health teams, establishing new treatment initiatives, e.g. out-reach services to prevent relapse for people with serious mental illness, and crisis intervention that could also prevent admission to psychiatric hospital.
