National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health - Reducing restrictive practice collaborative resources

Summary

The Reducing Restrictive Practice Collaborative (RRP) aimed to reduce restrictive practice by one third in participating wards, measuring the following practices:

• Restraint – to prevent, restrict or subdue movement of the body, or part of the body of another person
• Seclusion – confinement in a room or physical space
• Rapid tranquillisation – use of sedative medication by injection.

This webpage contains a number of resources related to the work of the collaborative, including a resource booklet outlining learning about running successful quality improvement projects.
