This paper describes a consumer–clinician co‐taught borderline personality disorder training programme for clinicians, of whom the largest group were nurses, working in mental health and substance use fields. A pilot evaluation of 73 participants attending the training rated the training as superior to evaluations of an earlier clinician‐only‐taught training. This study of a novel co‐taught training programme found that the consumer input added substantial value. Findings indicate that consumer input into education programmes can make a significant positive contribution to the delivery of mental health services training with likely impacts on mental health service delivery. The potential importance of the findings warrants a comprehensive multicentre study. Confirming the findings would have implications for future borderline personality disorder training programmes.
