Extending the role of mental health nurses. 1994

This article describes the attempts of a mental health nursing development unit to combat the problems of limited access to its services and under-use of nurses' skills. By introducing a system of referral directly to nurses and allowing nurses to practise their skills on a sessional basis within the unit, a much wider and more comprehensive service has developed.
