The
Psychiatric Nurses Discussion Group is a mailing list in which
(generally) contemporary issues in mental health nursing are debated.
This service generates
a lot of email but may be very useful to you. If you wish to use this
service you should subscribe to it for periods whilst you are in
College
and unsubscribe whilst on holiday or placement, whilst subscribed you
are advised to empty your mailbox frequently. If you do not wish to
subscribe
to the service you may well find it useful to browse
or search
its archives.
The
Older Persons Psychiatric Nursing discussion list: Older persons
psychiatric nursing aims to allow nurses in the field to
discuss themes and events that they feel need specialist or experienced
input on. The list hopes to support nurses working with dementia
sufferers and their carers but also those working with those with more
functional illnesses. The list hopes to reflect the reality than much
mental health care of older people does not take place in
specialist units by using "expert" knowledge to aid those working in
general hospitals, nursing homes or in primary care.
