Abstract

We would like to revisit the discussion articulated by Holmes (2006) from an Australian perspective and more recently by Hurley & Ramsey (2008) regarding the potential demise of mental health nursing. Currently in the UK, the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) is reviewing nurse education. The NMC state that the review is required because: Changes in policy and delivery of healthcare will allow us to ensure that nursing education across all four countries enables nurses to meet the future needs of patients. (NMC 2008a)
