IIMHN/COMMUNE Conference 2018 – Booking Closed

About this event:

The Irish Institute of Mental Health Nursing is pleased to open bookings for its 2018 conference, which this year will be held jointly with the COMMUNE (Co-produced Mental Health Nurse Education) project.

The theme of the conference is: ‘Informing mental health nursing practice, education, and research through co production’.

There has been growing interest in co-production in the past decade, particularly in the context of promoting partnerships between governments, services, service users and communities in the commissioning and development of health and community services. A co-production approach sees service users /consumers  involved in, or leading, defining the problem, designing and delivering the solution, and evaluating the outcome, either with professionals or independently (Roper, Grey & Cadogan 2018).
