Most of us still trying to understand a gilded cage is a cage no less ruling.
This tweet/thread got a very disappointing amount of attention, considering the importance of the subject. Any I nterest in healthcare? Please... take a look.

What a fascinating response! Can you elaborate on your thinking..?
-
Whole consent issue up in the air over a number of recent rulings some of them frankly odd - Cheshire West ruling has really spooked psychiatrists or anyone trying to detain patients for any reason, even for their own safety Madness has ensued in my neck of the woods
-
I had to take a prolonged break from twitter and missed out on a lot. That ruling being just one example, it seems. Thank you for the heads up. Reading now... What madness has it provoked?
-
Patient admitted to place of safety after suicide attempt. Still at risk. When arranging transfer to psych unit (voluntary admission) I was told ambulance could not be locked as that would be a breach of human rights. Was pressured to section to allow 'locked transfer'. Refused.
-
What would normal procedure have been prior to recent rulings?
-
Patient transferred in an ambulance with no-one giving a thought to whether doors were just closed or locked. Now if I dare say lock them as a precaution given patients suicide risk I break the law. Wasted hours arguing point with daft psych manager who called lawyer!
-
Nobody likes a lawyer. For the costs incurred, you could probably have hired another member of staff to stand guard by the bloody ambulance door! What a mess.
