Abstract

Belief in Recovery is a project introduced into Northumberland, Tyne and Wear Foundation Trust between 2010 and 2012 to develop nursing staff members' confidence and skills in meeting the spiritual, religious and cultural needs of patients in mental health recovery. This article describes how we assessed and understood their training needs and developed a training programme, and how this led to positive outcomes for staff.
