Mental health nursing: a profession that must be valued (English)
Mental health nursing is an extremely diverse field, but a stigma remains around severe and enduring mental ill-health. This, combined with a lack of investment in inpatient services, has contributed to inequalities within mental health service provision. This paper presents a range of recommendations for the Welsh government to improve mental health service provision through investment in education, improved career pathways, workforce planning, and more.
