16 1) Interventions for self-harm

17 1) Interventions for self-harm

18 2) Safety in mental health services National policies and recommendations Removal of ligature points Assertive outreach 24-hour crisis team 7-day follow-up Non-compliance Dual diagnosis Criminal justice information sharing Multi-disciplinary review Training in suicide risk management Safety First, Steps to a Safer Service

19 Questions Do mental health services implement policies? Do they make a difference?

20 Suicide rate per 10,000 patients in contact (exact Poisson 95% CI) Do policies make a difference? hour crisis team Dual diagnosis policy Multidisciplinary review before after before after before after (While et al Lancet, 2012)

21 Suicide rate vs non-medical staff turnover (%)

22 Suicide Rate per 10,000 patients per year in contact (exact Poisson 95% CI) Policy on multi-disciplinary review information sharing with families high turnover low turnover before after (Kapur et al Lancet, Psychiatry 2016) Non-medical staff turnover (%)

23 Safer care in mental health services

24 3) Risk tools and scales Risk tools and scales to predict suicide after self-harm: Positive Predictive Value less than 5% So they are wrong 95% of the time And they miss suicide deaths in the large low risk group

25 Risk tools and scales UK NICE Guidelines: Do not use risk assessment tools and scales to predict future suicide or repetition of self-harm. Do not use risk assessment tools and scales to determine who should and should not be offered treatment or who should be discharged. Risk assessment tools may be considered to help structure, prompt, or add detail to assessment.
