At each level you will undertake an integrated placement. This a placement in a setting where you will be involved with patients or service users from both fields, for example a GP's surgery. Mental Health Nursing As a mental health nurse, you will specialise in providing nursing care to individuals experiencing mental health issues or disorders. You will be trained to assess and monitor patients’ mental and physical health. You will also offer support to patients' families and help with care and recovery plans.
