Black History Month and Mental Health Nursing Matters

    • Medicine

October is Black History Month, an opportunity for the RCN to spotlight the contributions of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic nurses across the profession. Dr. Ann Mitchell is a practitioner, educator and researcher in mental health nursing. She talks about her work: challenging stereotypes, stigma and the racism faced by both service users and those who care for them – highlighting the importance of transcultural care, and equal opportunities. 

Nursing Matters is presented by PNC chair Rachel Hollis and committee member for the West Midlands Ray McMorrow. Tell us what YOU want us to discuss on the podcast by tweeting @theRCN with the tag #NursingMatters
