Royal College of Psychiatrists (formerly the Royal Medico-Psychological Association)

Hide Profile

The Certificate of Proficiency in Nursing was founded at the Medico-Psychological Association Meeting in 1890 and untill 1921 was the only recognised qualification in mental nursing. A separate certificate in Mental Deficiency Nursing was instituted in 1919 and a short lived Occupational Therapy Certificate was introduced in 1939. After negotiations with the General Medical Council, the examinations for these certificates were discontinued, the last being held in 1951.
