Mental Health Nurse Managers Ireland is an association
that provides managerial, educational and clinical support
to senior mental health nurse managers across the Irish
Mental Health Services. Mental Health Nurse Managers Ireland
has been reconstituted from the Association of Psychiatric
Nurse Managers (APNM) following a change of title of the
organisation at the Annual General Meeting in 2003. The
change of name was proposed to reflect a more positive
and modern view of services for people with mental health
needs and to accord with changing legislation in the area
of mental health care.
Mental Health Nurse Managers Ireland is cognisant of
the many changes and demands of modern health care and intends to ensure that
the views of mental health nurse managers in Ireland are presented at the earliest
possible stage in order to influence changes and have a proactive effect on issues
that may impact on mental health service provision. Mental Health Nurse
Managers Ireland will, at every opportunity, acknowledge and raise awareness of
the unique contribution made by nurse managers in the provision, management and
development of mental health services in Ireland. The National
Executive of Mental Health Nurse Managers Ireland is comprised of a network
of regional representatives who act as a resource for members of the organisation.
Additionally, seminars are convened to provide a forum for discussion by members
of contemporary issues and to construct an organisational response to proposed
changes in delivery of mental health care. An annual conference is held for all
members which allows for discussion and debate on common concerns and provides
a forum for presentation of relevant academic papers. The aims of Mental
Health Nurse Managers Ireland - To reflect the views
of Mental Health Nurse Managers in the formulation and implementation of policies
and procedures relating to employment and utilization of psychiatric nursing personnel
and other categories of staff
- To influence Policy on healthcare frameworks
and staff development programmes.
- To promote a medium for the exchange
of views and issues on any matter relevant to the profession.
- To establish
dialogue and communication with other appropriate National and International Organisations.
