@Senoritasmoke @WeMHNurses @WeNurses Thank you so much,that makes me feel a lot better! In response to your question: it's an inpatient unit

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@Senoritasmoke @WeMHNurses @WeNurses It's with people who have dementia. I'm not really sure what to expect!

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@B_McT @WeMHNurses That sounds brilliant, I'll definitely have a look at that! Thank you!

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@bbchealth Showing someone that you're there + that you care can really help.

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@WeNurses What is the best way to prepare for my first mental health placement?!

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@NurChat another day of biology revision!

Simon Wessely: In physical health for every £1 govt gives, charity gives £2.75. In mental health it's less than 0.25p #NMD15

@VictoriaLIVE This is absolutely heartbreaking. Beds need to be available to whoever needs them.

@stpjjf @NurChat not at all. I'm saying patients should be treated equally regardless of whether they smoke or have alcohol related issues

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@NurChat no, everyone should be treated equally. We're not here to judge

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@theRCN such a good idea!

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@PUNC14phoebe @puncruthie I think just being more open about it. People won't feel comfortable seeking help until there is no stigma #punc14

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@PUNC14phoebe lack of information about mental health, fear of being discriminated or they might feel ashamed or scared #punc14

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@punc_jo @PUNC14phoebe @puncemma definitely! Younger people should be encouraged to speak confidently about their mental health #punc14

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@puncemma I think there is definitely less stigma than there used to be but we've still got a long way to go #punc14

[Abi Chapple @punc15ac]

@PUNC14phoebe fewer people will experience discrimination + stigma and more people will have a positive experience of care + support #punc14
