Students must understand that this is a working mental health ward and all they see must be kept confidential. There maybe times if any patients pose a significant risk to staff that a student may not be able to attend the ward for their own safety. All staff working are trained in techniques to protect themselves but students will not have this training. Students maybe exposed to upsetting situations and should be emotionally mature to cope with patients who are unwell, mentally distressed or possibly experiencing suicidal/self harm thoughts.
