Thread dredge, but my colleagues are putting on an interesting open debate forum with UCL and The Mental Elf on preventable harm. Open to all to attend, and free, just need to reserve a space.
http://www.nationalelfservice.net/mental-health/self-harm/preventableharm-debate-20716-can-risk-assessment-in-mental-health-be-evidence-based/
“Failed by mental health services” is an all too familiar newspaper headline.
Can mental health services use new research into risks of self-harm, harm to others, and violence from others to make better decisions? Or is risk assessment simply a box-ticking exercise, and might overemphasis on risk damage patient care?
We are organising a live debate in London on Wednesday 20th July at 6-8pm to discuss this subject and we want you to get involved!
What’s the plan?
These questions and more will be addressed in a 90-minute ‘question-time’ style conversation featuring a panel of experts from a range of backgrounds: health professionals, researchers, and service users. There will be ample opportunity to share your views and drive the discussion.
The debate will take in a room in London but also on Twitter, so if you can’t join us in person, please participate in the conversation at #PreventableHarm.
The meeting will be live streamed on YouTube and made available afterwards on The Lancet Psychiatry podcast.
