“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!
Updated 22 Jul 2016
Here’s the full podcast of the public discussion courtesy of Niall Boyce from The Lancet Psychiatry
Listen to all of The Lancet Psychiatry audio podcasts here.
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.
