Transforming the Future of Mental Health Care webinar
ICN is proud to mark the launch of our new Mental Health Nursing guidelines with an important webinar.
These guidelines underscore that every nurse, irrespective of their speciality, should be equipped to identify and contribute to the management of conditions ranging from emotional distress to chronic mental health disorders.
In addition, the ‘Guidelines’ aim to establish a professional standard for mental health nursing, articulate the scope of practice to support a common understanding, provide the recommendations on education to improve mental health care and articulate the vital contributions that mental health nurses make to health care services.
