  My job role allows me to assist in promoting and supporting a person’s recovery and enabling them to have more involvement and control over their condition. I typically support people with mental health issues ranging from anxiety and depression to personality and eating disorders or addiction to drugs or alcohol. Mental health problems are often hidden from view unlike many physical illnesses and so a nurse may visit a person at home to help that person to get back on track with family life, their career and aims. My role as a mental health nurse (RMN) varies from patient to patient depending on their condition and individual needs. My main duties include: -Work in partnership with GPs, Consultant Psychiatrists, CMHN’s, Social Workers, third sector providers and any other relevant community or hospital-based personnel who may contribute to a specific individuals’ package of care. - Allocating my own time to ensure that clients receive appropriate care from a coordinated multidisciplinary approach. -Take into account at all times, measure and record the levels of risk involved in contacts with clients and act within the NHS risk management strategy. -Assist in the formulation of nursing policies. -Provide clinical support and supervision to junior staff and student nurses and act as a role model by demonstrating best practice. -Participate in the monitoring and development of clinical indicators. -Ensure my practice remains updated in line with nursing policy and that practice is research and evidence-based. -Represent the nursing service as required, working locally in partnership with colleagues in the statutory and voluntary sectors -Abide by the NMC Code of Professional Practice at all times
