| Annotation | This report describes the findings from the 2006/7 phase of the National Audit of Violence which was funded by the Healthcare Commission and managed by the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Centre for Quality Improvement. A total of 69 NHS trusts and independent sector organisations took part in the programme, representing 78% of all eligible participants in England and Wales. Work focused on two specialties - older people's services and acute services. Data was collected between October 2006 and March 2007. This report presents the findings from older people's services. This is the second time that the Healthcare Commission and Royal College of Psychiatrists have joined forces to examine the needs of patients and staff with regard to violence in inpatient mental health services. For this audit, the focus has been on older people's services, and comparison with their working age adult counterparts. Often the serious problems facing mental health services are believed to be confined to working age adults. This report shows that violence and unsatisfactory conditions for staff and people admitted to hospital, apply equally to older people's services. An executive summary prefaces the full report, in which there is a glossary and eight appendices. (KJ). |
