Learning disability nursing staff have an important role in the assessment and management of dual diagnosis patients. The present study assesses the level of psychiatric knowledge and interest of nursing staff in core psychiatric topics. Nursing staff were invited to attend a series of tutorials, and their knowledge of psychiatric topics was tested via a set of multiple-choice questions before and after the tutorials. The reasons for the low attendance rate and knowledge are discussed. Ensuring attendance is vital because the tutorials were found to be effective in improving knowledge.
