Amharc ar fhreagraFirstly, I would like to commend the important role of all Psychiatric Nurses in our country. They provide essential care to those in need.
I have a very full schedule and unfortunately I am not in a position to accept every invitation I receive each year. Due to travel commitments at the time of the PNA conference, I was unable to attend.
The conference was attended by the Chief Nursing Officer, along with other Department officials.
