This series focuses on the role of nurses and midwives working in crisis situations around the world with the aim of challenging existing perceptions, highlighting the contribution of nurses and midwives to crisis response, and understanding what is needed to better support them. The series is shaped with a particular focus on mental health and wellbeing.
