Abstract

This article illustrates the solutions that one university has devised in
terms of incorporating mental health field identity, relative to the Nursing
and Midwifery Council standards of proficiency for registered nurses. Novel
approaches were used to add mental health content to generic parts of the
curriculum. There are also suggestions aimed at improving the experience
of future students undertaking a preregistration mental health nursing
education programme
