Mental health nursing concepts and practice

This unit will equip you with the core knowledge and skills required of a mental health nurse to work collaboratively with service users to support and promote their journeys towards recovery.

You will examine mental health conditions that are experienced across the lifespan, develop skills in assessment, and explore pharmacological and psychosocial approaches to support symptom management and recovery.

Additionally, you will explore mental health nursing practice with consideration of law and ethics to support care delivery, safe practice and optimal health outcomes for service users, their families, carers and supporters.
