Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services: Discussion

2:00 pm

Mr. Peter Hughes:

The standard training provided as part of the honours degree programme covers much of it, but many nurses continue on to further education, including higher diplomas and masters degrees in fields as broad as mental health nursing or community mental health nursing. That further education covers many of the aspects in question. We do not have an issue with the type of training provided, as our nurses are sought all over the world.
