I have heard good things about it. Interestingly, I tried to get a whole
unit on mental health on our course a few years ago whilst at the RCN.
Unfortunately, we were not allowed to proceed - the reason - I don't hold

difficult to get what we need in for NMC validation that mental health gets
only a brief mention.
