The Clinical Pocket Reference resource 'Fundamentals of Acute Mental Health Nursing' provides a point-of-care tool to support evidence-based, ethical nursing practice. 

It includes chapters on mental health law, common conditions, how nurses can help, commonly used medications, physical health and a final chapter on sustaining professional practice. A QR code in the resource links to an extensive further reading list.

Rose said “The Clinical Pocket Reference focuses primarily on the fundamentals of mental health nursing care and provides a reference resource to orientate ethical and effective mental health nursing practice in the acute setting. This resource aims to consider how we as nurses can respond to people’s lived experiences when in acute inpatient settings, providing compassionate and effective care”.

The book is aimed at both student and registered mental health nurses and nursing associates. It is also a useful resource for community nurses and paramedics and is a useful resource for lecturers, clinical educators, and preceptors.
