Abstract
Dan is a mental health nurse, lecturer and mentalization based treatment practitioner, and is currently undertaking a PhD exploring experiences of crisis intervention for people diagnosed with ‘borderline personality disorder’. He is a member of the executive group for the Scottish Personality Disorder Network and has contributed to best practice statements locally and nationally. Topics of his writing, speaking and interest include ‘personality disorder’, the limitations of psychiatric diagnosis, trauma informed care, ethics, risk, and the identity and education of mental health nurses. In June 2022, Dan presented a matter for discussion at the Royal College of Nursing congress, raising concerns around the impact of the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s Future Nurse Standards on the specialist education of mental health nursing students. This presentation explores the current challenges impacting on mental health nurse education.
