Professional Documents
Culture Documents
I have learned that their individuality is the key to finding the right direction in enabling footsteps in
finding that hope and pathway (The National Framework for Pre-registration Mental
Health Nursing Programmes in Scotland, NHS Education for Scotland, 2006).
I have often reflected on my experiences and feel it is important to synthesise findings and develop
own coherent understanding - a competent nurse is crucial for the recovery of mental healthservice
users (Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland, 2003).
Personal and Professional Growth
To conclude I have learned that supporting recovery requires a cultural awareness embedded in the
vision of values and trust (NHS, Scotland, 2011). Therefore, this working relationship to recovery is a
very valuable process which puts an onus on promoting personal and professional growth and
understanding.
Lastly I feel a point to us all: You are the most important person in your life (Purcell, 2009).
