Leading Minds
The newsletter includes information about forum steering group activity, but in the main we would like to use it as an opportunity for sharing good practice examples in the areas of work that senior nurses and nurse directors lead on.
This may include things directly relevant to nursing practice and education, but more widely may include information about approaches to CNST, healthcare standards, complaints management, diversity, recruitment - whatever you want to share.
Most items should be between 300-500 words - A short case study covering a leadership intervention, a clinical governance/quality improvement project, or a service development – although anything considered. So if you or one of your colleagues has something going on that you would like to share with the forum then please drop us a line.
Alternatively if there is anyone you think we should be chasing for an article on something you know they are doing drop us a line about that too: forum.admin@mhforum.org.uk

This practice guide is relevant to staff working in mental health and learning disability services with Ministry of Justice restricted patients and those conditionally discharged subject to Ministry of Justice monitoring. It summarises the current law and gives practical guidance to assist in progressing people’s clinical pathway until the proposed changes to the Mental Health Act are seen and enacted.
This guidance has been developed in collaboration with the four UK Consultant Nurse Networks (Learning Disability; Autism; CAMHS and Mental Health). Our networks encompass all learning disability, autism and mental health Consultant Nurses in the UK working in both statutory and independent sectors.
This guidance is aimed at employers of nurses registered on the learning disability and mental health parts of the NMC register and those who are functioning at or progressing towards consultant level practice.
