An open discussion group for forensic psychiatric/mental health nurses and others with an interest in the care of those people who might be described as mentally disordered offenders, ie people who use mental health services through some contact (or potential contact) with the criminal justice system. It is expected that members will primarily be nurses who work in prisons, Secure Hospitals and related community services. Those involved in management, education and research in relation to forensic nursing care are also welcome.

This list has been set up the National Forensic Nursing Research and Development group in the UK.

New members' posts are moderated, this means the list owner checks the posts before allowing them to be sent to the list, depending on your time zone this may take some time.
