Summary

Mental Health Nursing Skills provides students and newly qualified nurses with an evidence-based, practical, and user-friendly account of the skills required of mental health nurses at the point of registration. Mapped against key reviews of mental health nursing, including the Chief Nursing Officer's report, and essential professional competencies, this textbook covers the complete range of skills that student nurses need to develop. Written by leading nursing academics, researchers, and practitioners, the authors have translated theory into clearly applied skills.
