Mental health nursing identity: a critical analysis of the UK s Nursing and Midwifery Council s pre-registration syllabus change and subsequent move towards genericism Authors: Chris Connell, Emma Jones, Michael Haslam, Jayne Firestone, Gill Pope, Christine Thompson DOI 10.1108/mhrj-02-2022-0012 #MHDeservesBetter
War of attrition Three Ideological fronts: Romanticism in Nursing a return to a centralised school of nursing Warped Neoliberalism Parity of esteem Have we lost the argument? Mental health undervaluing of the specialism Vs Mental health Nursing [as we know it to be] #MHDeservesBetter
Democracy is dead 11% of the register is MH. It is difficult to observe, reduce, quantify the important work of the good mental health nurse. It is however, tacitly known. We find it difficult to articulate its uniqueness. If true, can we expect others to fully understand the nuances and skills of MH nursing? The value of MH nursing is undervalued and is replaced with proficiencies, procedures, tasks #MHDeservesBetter
The allies Service users/clients/patients - It is not the mental health nurse who holds a unique place in health care, it is, the service user who commands the unique position. Adult, LD and Paediatric colleagues Students (specifically 3rd year students) #MHDeservesBetter
General and Giants rising from the ashes Time to Mobilise the Generals & Let loose the Giants of war Mental Health Deserves Better Working group Call to action: Manifesto Open letter Build the argument (regional & national) Evidence A call for papers that build on the foundations that we set out. #MHDeservesBetter
At the pokey end of the diagnostic stick If we fail to act, we risk: Dissolution of mental health nursing care as we know it Tipping the balancing of paternalism and care in the centre of therapeutic relationship in the wrong direction. Reducing Mental Health nursing to a neoliberal task focused tick box culture Reducing the quality of care that services are able to provide for service users #MHDeservesBetter
What would contemporary mental health care miss if the mental health nurse role is confined and reduced towards an outcome focused generic nursing role? #MHDeservesBetter
