title: The role of a community psychiatric nurse in prison healthcare.
abstract: It is now 2 years since a trained and experienced psychiatric nurse became attached to our Health Care Centre to assist in counselling and treating mentally disordered offenders. The attachment represents innovation within the Prison Service and the nurse has developed into a most valuable asset within the health care team. We report on the attachment, the workload and the role of the nurse.
