We've been reflecting on the impact of safe nurse-to-patient ratios at our summit today. Evidence shows there's an increased risk of harm associated with a registered nurse caring for more than 8 patients on adult inpatient wards. How many people are you caring for? Is it safe?

Terrifying, evidence-based critical analysis and socio-political astuteness should be at the heart of undergraduate nurse study. In fact, it is essential as per NMC guidance to nurse as per the code.

Very tragic loss & stark reminder of importance of #RMNs & #nursingstudents receiving high quality, field-specific physical health skills, confident in recognising & responding to psychogenic polydipsia, choking risks, major bleeds, head trauma, NMS, serotonin syndrome etc.

Here at @UCLanMH @UCLanNursing we are developing a new pre reg nursing curriculum. Here are 2 of many field specific modules designed to build MH nurse identity, alongside MH specific skills. @Tylerify_This @traceyrogers37 @dirob29 @mickmckeown2016 @mbhaslam @Chris_RMN
22 Nov 2023
There will be a real focus on the development of a strong sense of professional identity in the new curriculum, both as a nurse and a nurse within your chosen field of practice!! #ProudToBeANurse @UCLan

Children mostly accept the reality with which they're presented, which is why society's push to normalise for them the medicalisation/pathologisation of their suffering (erasing social, relational, spiritual, humanistic perspectives), is the opposite of preparing them for life.

Sad news indeed - he was an amazing researcher, teacher, mentor & colleague- my thoughts are with him family - he was much loved & will be much missed

We are so sad to hear about the death of Professor Bill Yule. He made enormous contributions to clinical psychology as a discipline & to training. He was the embodiment of a scientist-practitioner. He will be deeply missed. His famiy are very much in our thoughts at this time.

Why are we trying to survey EVERY nurse in mental health?
Because we need to understand the the job – its highs & lows – to address national workforce challenges.
#MentalHealthMatters
If you’re a nurse in mental health please take part.
Please share 🙏
