A bunch of great student nurses and their tutor encounter the 'Neuroplastic Narrative' in the classroom. Trauma-Informed biology and a depathologized outlook: tinyurl.com/yeytjkc7

A group of UK student mental health nurses discuss a recent literature review about hearing voices from Psychosis journal. We found that it challenges our cultural norms and also whether we, ourselves, are learning to be self-compassionate.

These are quite broad and a little vague, but I do hope there is a genuine attention paid to mental health nursing in here. 4 and 5 hold opportunities, if Nursing and Midwifery Council are serious about respecting and valuing the profession. #MHDeservesBetter

A great vision for inpatient #mentalhealth nursing. 👍 A lot of work to be done, though, and requires both workforce and financial investment.

How we see nurses matters. My lovely and amazing @uclan student Lucy shares how the angel and hero narrative during Covid influenced how she viewed MH nurses. Yet when she started her course and went on placement, this one dimensional concept evolved into something much more

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the whole ‘you’re informal unless you want to leave and we’ll section you’ is so wrong. De facto detention, as I learned a while ago, is illegal and it needs to stop being common practice.

Hello Nursing and Midwifery Council. How regular is 'regular'? The future nurse standards don't assert, promote or protect specific skills for mental health nurses, and change is needed. #MHDeservesBetter

Great to see, but important the voice of all academics across all fields is heard. We know this has not always been the case, and #MentalHealth has been marginalised in many UK pre-reg programmes. #MHDeservesBetter

I’ve never understood why this was not mandated in our profession? It’s so integral to the work.

Great opportunity here at band 7 for someone with lived experience of in patient mental health services in Sheffield or South Yorkshire who would like to work with us 3 days a week to lead our programme of culture change in inpatient settings.
