SPSP Mental Health Collaborative

The aim of the SPSP Mental Health Programme is to reduce the level of harm experienced by people using healthcare services.

This will be achieved by supporting hospital teams to improve observation practice and reduce harm from restraint and seclusion practices. The SPSP team supports the  Programme with a focus on;

• creating the conditions for improvement in your team
• the implementation of the ‘From Observation to Intervention’ national guidance
• reduce the incidence of restraint, whilst improving this experience for staff and patients
• reduce episodes of seclusion, whilst improving this experience for staff and patients
