Using Quality Improvement to reduce incidences of Self-Harm in female acute mental health inpatient setting: Doing more of what works well

There are several ways to approach a problem  - a common approach within patient safety is to put in place more restrictions in order to stop harm from occurring.

In this blog, HIEM Senior Improvement Lead and Nurse, Hannah Jackson-Cox describes a recent project, in collaboration with Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, that used QI approaches to do the opposite – while reducing incidences of self-harm by 40%. 

The project has been shortlisted for a HSJ Patient Safety Award.
