Event details
A crisis is deepening in NHS psychiatric care - but how can we turn the tide and stop a total collapse?
Join The Independent’s health correspondent Rebecca Thomas and a panel of experts as they dive into the heart of the issues plaguing the NHS' mental health services.
This exclusive event comes after joint Independent/Sky News investigation Patient 11 uncovered 20,000 sexual abuse, harassment and assault complaints involving both patients and staff in more than 30 NHS mental health trusts in England since 2019.
Sparked by the testimony of former patient Alexis Quinn, who joins our panel, the investigation has prompted accusations by healthcare professionals that NHS psychiatric care in England is in a state of "collapse," due to "unsafe" mixed gender care spaces, inadequate safeguarding protections and bed shortages.
