📽️Nick Woodier, Senior Safety Investigator, summarises the report we published today on mental health inpatient settings

Mental health hospitals should be places of recovery. But they’ve become places of pain and fear. Places that are ‘re-traumatising’ patients. We know this already, but a report released by the Health Services Safety Investigations Body (HSSIB) today shows how bad things are. 🧵

🆕REPORT: Our investigation explores the conditions needed and challenges related to delivering safe and therapeutic care to adults who are staying in mental health wards or units. Read the report hssib.org.uk/patient-safety… #PatientSafety #MentalHealth #NHS #Healthcare

We welcome the publication of the first patient safety principles by the @PSCommissioner. It is crucial that organisations work collaboratively, taking a more proactive approach to embedding safety management systems in healthcare.

@theHSSIB Happy birthday! I'd love your new investigators to look into awake, no pain-relief #hysteroscopy procedures. 1/3 of #women experience severe #pain, develop PTSD, fear of intimacy & future treatment. Why are we not warned about the risks & offered #painfree options. #trauma #gynae

Joining just in time to celebrate our first birthday, a warm welcome to our new investigators!
