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)
