WINNER: Cambridgeshire and Peterborough FT – Abolishing Restrictive Interventions at Springbank Ward, Specialist Personality Disorder Unit
Springbank Ward is the only specialist personality disorder unit of its kind in the NHS, say the organisers. It cares for women at extremely high risk of suicide. Physical restraints and incidents were up to 10 times higher than those in acute psychiatric units.
The aim of this project was to reduce the use of restrictive interventions and incidents whilst improving the safety and satisfaction of patients. It achieved a 95 per cent reduction in incidents involving physical restraint and a 65 per cent reduction in incidents, which has been maintained for over five years. The trust has shared its results and trained others in its approach.
