Timeliness of second opinion appointed doctors' assessments of treatment plans for patients detained in medium security hospitals in London, UK
Discussion and implicationsThese results suggest that in these trusts, unlikely to be atypical, neither patients nor clinicians are being adequately protected by legal safeguards on decisions to treat with medication (or electroconvulsive therapy) in the event of impaired competence for decisions about mental health treatments. There should be clear standards for the appropriate length of time from referral to assessment by an independent doctor (SOAD). Compliance with standards should be transparent, so anonymised data on the matter should be routinely collected and stored by health trust Mental Health Act offices. Data ...

Community DSPD pilot services in South London: Rates of reconviction and impact of supported housing on reducing recidivism
ConclusionsAlthough findings appear promising, this was a naturalistic study. The sample size was small, but represented all men accepted into the two pilot services. Further evaluation of the role of supported housing and perhaps other details of community supervision should follow. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Factor structure of the Essen Climate Evaluation Schema measure of social climate in a UK medium‐security setting
ConclusionOur data support the use of the EssenCES scale as a valid measure for assessing social climate within medium‐security hospital settings. Significant differences between the means of high‐security and medium‐security service samples imply that degree of security is a relevant factor affecting the ward climate and that in monitoring quality of secure services, it is likely to be important to apply different scores to reflect standards.
