Perhaps with this damning report, there is an opportunity for renewal, and a regulator that really listens. Poor #MentalHealth nursing education is happening under the nose of @nmcnews, and they have done nothing to prevent this. #MHDeservesBetter

[Mental Health Deserves Better: #MHDeservesBetter @MH_DeservesBett]

"There is a clear call from participants for MH nurse education to be recognised as a distinct specialisation... emphasising the importance of specialist training–a clear response to the sense that MH nurses can often feel invisible" #MHDeservesBetter https://t.co/VTQ6ZnTM0P

Why we must vote this year...

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Just a reminder that 14 yrs ago there were no waiting lists over 18-weeks, no 12-hour A&E waits, no waiting an hour for an urgent ambulance, over 90% of cancer patients started treated within two months, everyone could see their GP within 2-days,…

Then we got the Tories

People don't choose to be on disability benefits. It's their last resort.

Stop blaming people with mental health problems. If the Secretary of State wants a grown-up conversation about this, then he should meet with us.

We've sent an invite. 1/3

Hello @nmcnews. 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

I recently had a paper published by the Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, about my experiences of harm in mental health services; how this caused me to self-discharge; and my life now as a "service-avoider". It's available here:

4/4 If like us, you feel this and you want to get involved, please review this document and get in touch. #MHNursesDay #MHDeservesBetter https://t.co/P4DiRZGWau

It was a pleasure to be interviewed for the below article 👇 mental health nurse to mental health service user was an arduous and insightful journey. My personal reflection surrounds the fact we are human, muddling our way through life, all vulnerable to MH challenges

Meanwhile we're still waiting for a review into field preparation at university. We hope the review of practice learning at least reviews the abomination of the practice assessment document, which sees students box-ticking many skills they will never use. #MHDeservesBetter

[Mental Health Deserves Better: #MHDeservesBetter @MH_DeservesBett]

The @NursingTimes are seeking ideas for nurse education in their 'manifesto by nurses'. Opportunity for #MentalHealth nurses to be heard in calls for respecting the field specific content within undergraduate curricula. Please respond. #MHDeservesBetter

Couldn’t agree more. Especially as I support apprenticeship learners. https://t.co/j9XadZTmyj

[Jane Fisher, MH Nurse Lecturer & Patient @Jane_Fisher2]

Was also talking about the power of ‘being with’ with students today ❤️ we can forget that it is a powerful intervention, perhaps one of the most powerful tools we have. It should be a core part of MHNursinf curriculum @MH_DeservesBett

[#hellomynameis Maria Cozens 🙂 @CallinanMaria]

@nunupatience This looks like a fantastic event!

[David Harling @DavidHarling1]

Amazing piece of work commissioned by our @CNOEngland and designed by the brilliant @MakatonCharity. Thank you!! Great working on this with @ElliegorRMN Such a
vital learning resource. @AcosiaNyanin @MRadford_HEECN

Happy 2nd anniversary to Learning Disability nurses everywhere!!! This is our day, so lets shine! Here's a dabble I've created to highlight just a small sample of some of our amazing leaders and the movement we continue to create! @CNOEngland @teamCNO_ @CahillT1 @Crouchendtiger7
