As part of the UKCC Nursing in Secure Environments project, all pre-registration programme providers for mental health and learning disability were contacted and invited to complete a questionnaire concerning their involvement with, and preparation of, nurses for working in these settings. Details are provided of the analysis of these questionnaires, along with parallel data captured from the project's focus groups and from focused interviews which provided a commentary of the practitioners' views concerning the adequacy of pre-registration preparation for work in these specialised environments.
