NEW SURVEY In our research I've spoken to some inspirational nurses who describe working as a nurse in MENTAL HEALTH as "the best job in the world". Yet MH nursing has the highest vacancy rates. Why? How could we attract & retain more nurses in MH? tinyurl.com/MHNurses

A finding of this study in Australia, pertinent to the UK, is power around access to data which may support improved #MentalHealth nurse education. “One Head of School declined to pass on the study invite on grounds of the research topic..." (1/3) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

If you are a recently graduated nurse, might you be willing to join an online meeting? We’re trying to identify factors that influence career choices & decisions to stay or leave the NHS/nursing. You’d be helping to inform policy plus we’d give you a voucher to thank you.

Please help Beth who is exploring how restrictive practices impact psychological safety.

Safer staffing in mental health nursing is not just about numbers…

New paper: discussing adverse incidents and patient safety in mental health settings: 👇 journals.rcni.com/mental-health-…

The focus of adverse incident reporting in mental health should be on deficits in care rather than the frequency of patient-related factors, such as aggression, argues Sam Woodnutt 🇪🇺 journals.rcni.com/mental-health-…

Super interesting paper by Sam Woodnutt 🇪🇺, which corresponds with our research into patient safety in mental healthcare "Mental health incident reporting focuses on the frequency of patients’ aggression or self-harm, but not on whether the care provided was appropriate."

A final plea: if you are an RN/RMHN working in Mental Health - please tell us about your work life and views. We want to be able to tell employers & policy makers how things are, and what needs to change to make work lives better in this important sector. Closes on 28 Jan. 🙏
