Mental Health Nursing Virtual Journal Club Session Two with Guest Kris Deering

Delighted to welcome PhD candidate Mr Kris Deering from the University of the West of England, Bristol to our second instalment of the Virtual Journal Club.

Kris spoke to students about his new book with co-author Jo Williams, titled 'Interprofessional Perspectives of Mental Health Crisis: For Nurses, Health and the Helping Professions'. Kris and Jo's book began based on their experience working in practice and a broad participation of service providers in a module Kris delivered relating to crisis management. The text is about how different service providers e.g. police, A&E staff, GP's, Nurses, etc. can work collaboratively for the service user and their significant others.

Key takeaways included the value of enhancing Mental Health Nursing presence in primary care, challenging the ‘post-code’ lottery & extolling the virtue of kindness when meeting people in crisis.
