It’s a generalisation, but there's an almost impossible combination right now of huge numbers of people desperately needing help from clinical services, at the same time as people working in clinical services at the limits of coping & exhaustion.

Enjoyed connecting with international colleagues at the mental health nursing leaders summit in Barcelona. The plan is to establish an international council for mental health nursing, and my heart is fully behind this project, but my head wonders how it will work and what impact it can have.

There's a situation at work where you can see how a top-down decision has been made with an emphasis on speed & efficiency (& minimal regard for human impact), & it's actually taking up FAR MORE time now, because of the upset caused & people understandably resisting.
