Today is Mental Health Nurses’ Day, a time to recognise and celebrate the vital role of our mental health nurses. We want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the 1,457 dedicated mental health nurses who are part of Team BSMHFT.

These professionals play a unique and essential role in the lives of those they support. Within our Trust, we have specialists in a wide range of areas, including eating disorders, psychosis, personality disorders, addiction, depression, anxiety, dementia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and more.

Mental health nurses are instrumental in promoting recovery, empowering individuals to lead independent and fulfilling lives. This day not only honours their invaluable contributions but also highlights mental health nursing as a rewarding and meaningful career for people from all walks of life.

Thank you for all you do for our patients, service users, carers and colleagues.
