Connecting nurses with an interest in neuroscience and neurology practices
Great to see 2 of our @rcn.org.uk Neuroscience Nursing Forum committee members discuss mental health in Neurology and the importance of being vigilant of issues in patients and fellow staff members. As we know nurses are 23% more likely to take their own life.

Day 4 (last day of @rcn.org.uk Congress): lively debates on financial hardships for nursing and care planning.
It’s been a great #nursing Congress and had great company from Shona, Mark and Jonathan from the Forum.
Think we convinced some nurses that #Neurology was the specialty to be in!!!
