You will be supported by our Professional Nurse Educator (PNE) to work through a competency framework, along with regular supervision. You will also be supported to attend our Nursing Development Programme (NDP) to support your development.

Our wards are integral to our Urgent Care Pathway and ensure people presenting to acute mental health services receive a compassionate, person- centred assessment and timely care plan.
