We know acute mental health wards are not safe for patients or staff. Efforts to reduce coercion and restrictive practice are often complex and are poorly implemented. Services continue failure to understand incidents and the dynamic milieu of wards in real-time. The staffing and skill mix of services are under constant pressure.
Recent research, #WardSonar, has successfully focused on enabling patients to highlight when the pressure on wards is building and can predict when incidents might occur. The challenge remains enabling staff to listen to and respond to real-time data.
