Welcome to the International Mental Health Nursing Research Conference 2020. Between Tuesday 15th September and Friday 25th September we will be running episodes that will feature evening panel discussions supplemented by presentations from each contributor that will be available to watch beforehand.
Episode 9 [originally broadcast on Friday 25 September 2020] was on the theme of ‘older people and end of life care' and featured three panellists:
Ben Hannigan is Professor of Mental Health Nursing at Cardiff University, Wales. His research and writing have addressed the policy context for mental health care, service organisation and delivery, work and roles, the workforce, and user and carer experiences. Ben is the current Chair of Mental Health Nurse Academics UK.
Douglas MacInnes is Professor of Mental Health at Canterbury Christ Church University. He has close working relationships with mental health services in Kent and South London and has worked on many national and international funded studies. His recent research activity has included; examining older peoples uses and experiences of forensic mental health services, evaluating a psychological intervention with active collaboration between users, carers and clinicians; an examination of the social networks of people with long-term mental health service use; the introduction and embedding of peer support workers into a mental health trust; and interventions to support prisoners with mental health needs.
Gwenne McIntosh is an experienced senior lecturer and mental health nurse with a keen interest in co-production in education, therapeutic relationships and recovery. Gwenne has research experience using IPA and has explored the impact of co-production in nurse education from a student and family carer perspective and is currently a part time PhD student investigating the perspectives of male caregivers of a spouse with dementia and their views of accessing support services.
