Mental health nursing: review
Overview
We published the Mental Health Nursing Review report: Advancing our Commitment to Care, Compassion and Connection in June 2025. The review took place between 2024 and 2025.
This report builds on recommendations from the Nursery and Midwifery Taskforce to create a sustainable mental health nursing profession in Scotland. It fulfils a commitment in the Mental health and wellbeing workforce action plan.
Next steps
We will set up a Mental Health Nursing Review Implementation Group to collaborate with partners, to deliver the review's actions and monitor and evaluate progress.
