Reflections 3 #mhnr2025 having a research conference dedicated to MHNursing feels essential for the continued development and vibrancy of our profession, and for the quality & safety of the care we provide. Yet it remains so challenging for nurses to attend….

Such a powerful presentation from Raf Hamaiza #MHNR25 A bridge to mutual understanding. Talks about under representation of minority groups in CEN services, the power imbalance and interplay in services displayed in the slide below. 👏 'how do we humanise things on both sides...'

Need to validate identity
Ask don't assume (individuals)
Be kind and compassionate (powerful)
Listen, learn and grow (listening without trying to problem solve, just listen)
Reflect and correct
Take to supervision

Palvisha Iqbal talking about 'how to make practice more inclusive'. Cultural responsiveness important. 'To truly understand others we need to see things from their perspective' 'biases are conscious not unconscious and we all have them' 'social graces' = understanding difference

NHSTT are effective for many, inequality strategy have been effective but more to do, NHSTT impact+ on the rest of the NHS, the economy and people's lives. Following NICE guidelines & not deviating improves outcomes in those supported by NHSTT (Tx focussed on Anxiety/Depression)

Gr8 opening key note from Prof David Clarke, key to the development of IAPT.
Key messages I took; engagement difficulties impact progress, raise hope and support socialisation to tx, enhance assessments to identify problem, 9% never start therapy, +waiting times impact outcomes

Excellent plenary talk from Brin, had online & email correspondence with him several times owing to my interest in stepped care approaches. The success of the project air model makes me wonder what can we learn from our international colleagues. So pleased to hear him talk & grow connections.
