title: Addressing a deficit: wound care and mental health nursing.
abstract: This article details the development and implementation of a teaching session introduced to address one of the key clinical skills that mental health nurses require in the practice setting--wound management. The session was introduced to equip a group of final year mental health nursing students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes they will need for practicing in a professional environment. The sessions were evaluated to determine their effectiveness in terms of the students' satisfaction with the teaching process, the clinical value and relevance of the content, and to improve the quality of future clinical skills teaching.
