The practice of seclusion

Seclusion is an intervention used as a safety measure to manage patients who are violent, show disturbed behaviour and who pose a risk of harm to others (Department of Health 2015). However, it is perceived as a contentious practice and, with the move towards treating people with mental health issues in the least restrictive environment, it has received much criticism. Consequently, there has been considerable debate about its therapeutic value and a call for it to be phased out. This article outlines the purpose of seclusion, and examines evidence on its use in adult mental health settings and its effect on nurses and patients, with emphasis on the interpersonal nature of nursing care during this intervention.

Young onset dementia service provision and its effect on service users and family members
07 Jul 2016

Dementia in people under the age of 65 is not well recognised and is generally treated in the same way as it is in people aged over 65. However, the evidence shows that these patients, and their carers and members of their family, experience dementia differently from people aged over 65. They need specific assistance from a range of agencies when receiving the diagnosis and through the progression of the disease. Such assistance encompasses working closely with the patient and their family, and an interdisciplinary approach across boundaries to address their complex needs. This article critically explores the additional challenges faced by the younger population suffering from dementia, including the service provision, pathways and delivery.
