Reducing Restrictive Practice (Kennett)
Objectives and concerns
Objectives
To reduce the use of restrictive practices on Kennet Ward by introducing positive changes to reduce the need for restrictive interventions.
About this project
The ward carried out work to understand the restrictive practices on Kennet ward and why they were used and produced a driver diagram.
One change idea was to systematically introduce the Safe Wards interventions one by one testing for improvement and unintended consequences.
The ward introduced the Know Each Other folder which all staff contributed to, patients also contributed to this if they chose to. As well as the Soft Words and Calm Down Methods interventions.
Outcomes
Unfortunately this project was stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
