An exciting supportive session with our IENs. Nice to hear that people are settling in well, learning and adapting at pace. As an IEN joining in super specialty like forensic psychiatry is challenging but good to see people thriving with support. Some of the challenges include accent issues, etc. good to see mentorship support and people taking clinical supervision.

University applications to nursing are down 17% this year. One in three nurses leave degree programmes early. In 2022 there was a 25% increase in nurses leaving … 7,000 compared to 2021 two thirds were under 45yrs… (Roy Lilley, 8th Aug 2023). Catastrophe coming!
Today’s shoutout goes to Dr Shrikaanth Krishnamurthy, Consultant Psychiatrist and Clinical Director for Urgent Care, Newbridge House👏
Dr Krishnamurthy is an incredible mentor and is always smiling, he has even been known to sing on the ward with service users!😊
