Totally agree with this. And it’s been going on for years. Unacceptable

Jo Holland, Clinical Assistant Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry @UniofNottingham presents findings from the ‘Far Away From Home’ study, exploring the impact on young people’s recovery by the distance from their home setting #QNICForum23

@TheBMA @FarAwayStudy @ARC_EM Looking forward to presenting early emerging findings from the national ARC “Far Away from Home” CAPSS and qualitative @FarAwayStudy, with @Drjoholland, at the RCPsych QNIC event on June 16th. @rcpsych @rcpsychcap @rcpsychCCQI @ARC_EM @InstituteMH

Sadly, the problem of out-of-area mental health admissions shows no sign of going away – excellent piece from @TheBMA. Remains a major issue for under-18s too. The “Far Away from Home” study @FarAwayStudy @ARC_EM will be reporting soon… #CYPMHSResearch bma.org.uk/news-and-opini…

Live on @SkyNews RCPsych Dean @subodhdave1 is talking about the need for urgent action to end inappropriate out of area placements news.sky.com/watch-live @SelinaSwiftt

@subodhdave1 'We want an end for these out of area placements, and better funding of mental health services, both before and after admission, to support crisis teams to support rehabilitation efforts'

On out of area placements, @subodhdave1 said 'It is a heartbreaking thing to tell patients, it is bad for patients, bad for their relatives and loved ones, and bad for the exchequer'

Latest e-Newsletter from RCPsych Trent is now available - includes an article about our Far Away from Home study (page 15)

Our study is looking at the impacts of these admissions on young people, their families and those providing care in both the inpatient and community teams. We hope that by understanding these impacts we can try to reduce them.

Failure to achieve mental health pledge in England ‘inhumane’, say psychiatrists theguardian.com/society/2022/j…

"205,990 days were spent inappropriately out of area, at a cost equivalent to the annual salaries of more than 900 consultant psychiatrists..." Failure to achieve mental health pledge in England ‘inhumane’, say psychiatrists theguardian.com/society/2022/j…

I’ve had enough of the clamour for more children’s mental health services to address the rising prevalence of mental health problems. Yes we need good services. But we cannot, we must not, medicalise a whole generation. We need youth clubs, music, art & drama in schools…

My CAMHS Risk & Eating Disorders teams, covering Exeter Mid & East Devon, have had NO patients in "Tier 4" (psychiatric inpatient care) for the last 5 months. (1/3)
