POLICY: Nurse Innovators - Case Study - Leading the way for mental health

A case study from Moray which illustrates the findings of our Nurse Innovators – Clinical Decision Making In Action report

The Moray mental health team is winning recognition for its care-enhancing service, delivered by pioneering advanced nurse practitioners. Over the past 11 years, the NHS Grampian Moray Mental Health Service ANP team has built a formidable reputation for its depth of knowledge, comprehensive clinical skills and impressive problem-solving abilities. Reckoned to be the first nurse-led initiative of its kind in Scotland, it emerged as a response to the European Working Time Directive, which curbed the hours that junior doctors could be on duty.
