We're launching a brand new podcast to mark World Mental Health Day 2024. Mental Health Conversations is a new series that focuses on mental health nursing - made for nurses, by nurses. This podcast series will bring you inside the doors of St Patrick's Mental Health Services, meeting nurses from across our services, and some of the people who have spent time in their care. The role of the mental health nurse involves many things, but, at the core, it’s all about helping people to get better. In our first episode, a psychiatric nurse describes her job and what she finds rewarding about her role; we hear a powerful story from one of our former services about the critical role nurses played in her recovery; and we go on a tour of a mental health hospital to learn about the service user journey and day-to-day life on the wards. Learn more and listen to our first episode here: https://lnkd.in/gjRcmEH2 #WorldMentalHealthDay #Nursing #Podcast #MentalHealthCare #MentalHealthConversations
