ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Staff well-being is vital to the functioning of the UK National Health Service (NHS). Mental health nurses (MHNs) with personal experience of mental illness can offer a professionally and personally informed insight into the occupational health (OH) service offered by their employer.AIMS:
To investigate MHNs' views of OH provision in the NHS, based on their personal experience.METHODS:
A qualitative interview study using a purposive sample of MHNs with personal experience of mental illness.RESULTS:
Twenty-seven MHNs met the inclusion criteria. Thematic analysis identified three themes comparisons of 'relative expertise' between the mental health nurse and the OH clinician; concerns about 'being treated' by a service at their work; and 'returning to work'.CONCLUSIONS:
OH provision in mental health settings must take account of the expertise of its staff. Further research, looking at NHS OH provision from the provider perspective is warranted.
